Steve Black

[Geordie]

Sad to see that Steve Black has passed away.

Instrumental in Johnny Wilkinsons rise to prominence and S&C for many teams.

I was fortunate to train with him several times when i was much younger... he was ahead of his time.

Really is sad news,
Heard nothing but good things about him - reading Wilkos autobiography he really credits SB with elevating his game
Believe he worked a lot with Cipriani when he moved back from Australia and helped him mature a lot off field too

 

[Geordie]

Yeah he was really held in great regard up here...even in non rugby circles .

There'll be a minutes silence today at the game.
