In this HeritageCast Joe and Chris are joined by the irrepressible Dave Bishop. A firm favourite with Rovers fans for his no nonsense still of play ‘Bish’ crossed the rugby divide in he late 1980’s and was part of the exodus of Welsh International Rugby Union players who joined Rugby League teams across the north of England.

– Winning his one and only Wales cap against Australia
– Receiving a jail sentence after punching an opposition player
– Signing for Hull Kingston Rovers
