One of the greatest rugby players of the 90s.
As a winger growing up in that decade there was very little as inspiring as watching Inga The Winger and Martin Offiah at Wigan.

Very sad. A great player. Saw him in play for Newcastle vs Tigers on a very wet and windy day in late December in 97. He spent the warm up by passing the ball from the 10 m line to the try line one handed- I was in awe! First tigers game that I had seen them lose, cried all the way home. RIP
