Perhaps it may be at the request of his family that no public announcement has been made, I don't know but I cannot help thinking if it had been a Wigan or Leeds 'great' we would have had it stuffed down our throat.

The best loose forward I've ever seen,When I was playing Amateur under 17s rugby in 1957, I used to try and style my game on Rocky. I think he was playing for Oldham then. At that time Whiteley and Karalius were top loose forwards but Rocky Turner was the best. RIP
