Grandson of Charlie Sage, who represented the Club with distinction in the 1920’s, “Brookie” was always destined to play for Hunslet. A product of Middleton Amateurs the popular halfback signed for the Club in 1990, making his debut against Trafford Borough. He went on play 178 games, just short of his Grandad’s 195, but his 72 tries stand up to any scrutiny and put him at number 3 in the try scoring charts since the Club’s reformation in 1973.
An astute kicking game, added to his try scoring exploits, and a “never say die” attitude made him a firm favourite with fans and teammates alike. Former teammate Mal Graham taking him over to Australia in 1993 for a spell with his Toronto Workers team.
Without doubt one of Hunslet’s favourites sons.
