One-club man

Ben Beevers was a fantastic asset for Halifax. He did not score many tries but he was a whole-hearted prop forward who gave his all for the team. He was awarded a testimonial by the club in 1990. Ben recalls that one of his best moments was holding the Challenge Cup triumphant after the 1987 Challenge Cup final.

gollark: Sure, sure.
gollark: You're just jealous of my workflow.
gollark: Hey, that's a good feature idea, backspace could do `git revert` or something fast instead.
gollark: I'm pioneering new git-based innovation. In 20 years, everyone will use version control this way. Probably backed by a VCS more suited to this degree of innovation.
gollark: Or giant binary object/whatever else storage, and yet people do that all the time (yes I'm aware of Git LFS, but few people use that).
