Dick Huddart has lived in Australia since signing for St. George in 1964, making only a brief return
to the U.K. in the early 70s.
We managed to intercept Dick on his visit to the U.K. to appear at the 2007 Challenge Cup
Final, along with many other of the Lance Todd Trophy winners, who were presented to the crowd before the match.
In the
nearly two hour interview, Dick tells us about his early days as an amateur, signing professional for Whitehaven, how he quickly
came to the notice of the Rugby League at large. Being the first Whitehaven player to be chosen as a British Lion, to tour
Australia on the 1958 tour, his record move to St. Helens and his move to Australia, in his prime, to play for the 8 times
on the trot Grand Final Winners St. George.
Rated by his fellow players as the Greatest Second rower in the World and
indeed rated by many as the greatest Second Rower of all Time. When you see footage of his internationals especially the 1958
and 1962 tours of Australia and New Zealand, you can understand why, his massive hand off(fend), his pace off the mark and
his speed (it usually took a very fast winger to catch him even over 60 yards).
We are so glad to have managed, at
short notice, to film this interview and now realise why Dick Huddart is held in such high regard by his fellow professionals.
