A woman was injured in a reported assault in Lincoln
A former professional rugby player from Scunthorpe, who once played against World Cup winner Jason Robinson and featured in a film with Tom Hardy, is retiring from his job as a local firefighter.
He said: “When I started playing for the first team at 18, Mick was a senior member of the team playing inside centre. He was powerful, quick and really solid defensively. Mick was someone I looked up to and admired, not just because of his quality as a player but also his physical conditioning and how he was pushing the younger players in the team, even in his late thirties.
In 1996, he went with Humberside to the Canada World Firefighter games to represent England in the 7’s, coming away as gold medallists after beating Australia in the final. He also won the national cup with the team in the early 90s. One of his biggest moments at Hull KR came when Wigan had not long joined Wigan, who beat Brisbane Broncos in the 1994 World Club Challenge.
He played first team rugby for Scunthorpe until he was 43, and during that time he won the National League on a couple of occasions, numerous NLD Cups, and also played at England’s national home of Twickenham in an RFU Cup competition.It’s not just his friends and team-mates full of praise for Mick. Phil Shillito, Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive at Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, met Mick playing rugby in the early 90s and has worked with him for six years.
