Quote The optimist="The optimist"Both surrounded by world class players of their time which allowed them to show their talents and reach the finals and achieve their personal goals, Blakeley unfortualty wasnt surrounded by the same class though his salford career so points unfortuatley didnt make big prizes in the end.
I take the point about being a bit "cant be d" sometimes but when he could be d he was in a different time zone to everyone else.'"
Zenith, I can't agree. Steve Blakely was occasionally good. Never top quality, never international class. I think he stood out because we not have the best of luck with half-backs, until recently. Still, he was one of the best players we had at the club in the 1990s.
Have to admit that he was never a favourite. There was something about his attitude I didn't like - even before he chased the 'dream' with our scouse friends at Wilderspool.
