JIM SULLIVAN

Wigan, St Helens, Wales & Great Britain

The Principality has seen hundreds of players 'Go North'. Jim Sullivan was one of these many and in the words of that doyen of the rugby league press, Eddie Waring, he was the "the greatest Welshman ever to be signed". In the record books of Rugby League, he certainly ranks as the greatest goal kicker ever to have donned a Rugby League shirt. His superlative goal kicking was the feature of his game for which he is most famous. 'Sully' as he was affectionately known  was a true professional as a player and this trait shone through in his post-playing days as an inspirational coach.we have available several items from the Jim Sullivan collection.
