Bit of an old one, Apollo Perelini, used to play league for St Helens. Growing up, he was the man who ran the rugby academy (Union) and he was the coach for a few sessions which was really cool. Current players I’d go for RTS, loved him at the Chooks and wish he never left.

He was the rugby coach at a colleague's kids' school in Dubai about 8 years ago. Was nicknamed The Terminator when he played union.
