On or off the field, Harry was always the same. He always gave his best. More than that no one can expect of any man.

Often he would push his man into the ground, showing his tremendous strength, but he was never unduly rough. As a superb team-man he fitted in anywhere and everywhere, no matter what company he was in.

Harry had grit; never one to moan.
