Against which I counter with Willie Gault: who would have won sprint medals at the Moscow Olympics but for the boycott.
He then went on to a long career with the Chicago Bears including winning a superbowl ring in Mike Ditka's great "Refrigerator Team". One of the fastest, if not the fastest, wide receiver in the game.
Ah, 'The Fridge', what a player (or players) and a much better nickname than 'The Wardrobe'. Clearly I WASN'T the only person in UK watching NFL at that timeQuote:

We saw this type of thing a few years back with Dwain Chambers in Rugby!

He was big and fast Rats, but not much more...had a trial for Castleford but it didn't really go anywhere, unlike 'Cas' who have gone on to be the best side in Super League. He was never actually offered a contract.Quote:

Even just have him chasing down centre-backs when on the ball, forcing them to kick long or make mistakes.
Maybe not a starting place, but could be handy as a sub.
If he goes to Burton Nigel Clough will probably play him in goal
