NEABs Greatest Team of All Time
Early last month, New Earswick All Blacks asked previous players and members of the ‘Legends’ club to vote for their best ever team to play for the New Earswick All Blacks. There has been a lot of players who have played for NEAB juniors that haven’t played for Open Age, that have gone onto bigger and better things, such as international and Super League, which owes much credit to the junior system and NEAB.
The Neabs Greatest team was put together by the number of votes which each player received from teams of long time supporters of the club and players who have pulled on the black and red jersey.
There were a lot of names mentioned and it was a tight call for some positions, but players earned their spot on being the top picked player, from the teams submitted, in their position.
The team consists of 13 starting players and 8 subs (as there were so many on an equal picking) So here is your greatest NEAB team:
- Steve Perks
- Dean Smith
- Chris Spain
- Jez Petch
- Alex Godfrey
- Ben Jones
- Liam Gargan
- Rich Harrison
- Alan Pallister
- Jamie Daniel
- Lee McTigue
- Jamie Rhodes
- Chris Judge
- Micky Harrison
- Dave Carling
- Mick McTigue
- Jack Stearman
- Dave Kettlestring
- Carl Barrow
- John Leach
- Sean Malarkey
Thank you to everyone who nominated their greatest NEAB team ever and congratulations to all involved.
