Sadly Brian Lockwood has died aged 78. He played 53 games for Widnes at the end of his career from January 1981 to February 1983. He played in the 1981 & 1982 Challenge Cup finals & the 1982 replay in Widnes colours.
A very classy player who gave me & I am sure many more of our older Widnes RL fans great memories.
RIP Brian.
RIP Brian a top class player who I had the privilege to watch wearing a Widnes Jersey.
Sad news.He came to Widnes as a veteran and was considering retirement but Doug signed him and he helped us to a Wembley win as underdogs.
Yes remember that well
I remember Brian. I didn't realise he was that old when he came to Widnes, but his level of play defied the myths about age. Hard as nails, a tough tackler and strong runner. RIP Brian.
