FORMER BRADFORD BULLS PLAYER)Tributes were today being paid to a well-known former Bradford rugby
league player has died in a horrific motorway accident.
David Myers, who played at Bradford during pre-Super League days when the club was known as Bradford
Northern, died on Monday night.
The chairman of the Bradford Bulls has expressed his “shock and sadness” at the accident that
killed one of the club’s former players.
Mr Myers, 37, who played for the club as a winger in the mid-1990s, was killed when his van hit a
bridge support on the M6 motorway at 8.49pm on Monday.
It happened about 90 minutes before a crash on the same stretch of road in which a family of six
died, Cheshire Police said.
Bulls chairman Peter Hood said: “A sudden death of someone who played in the red, amber and black
is always a sad moment. The club’s condolences go out to his family in this desperately tragic
situation. Although rugby league is a global game, it’s still quite a close-knit community and
it’s shocking to hear of an incident like this.”
Stuart Duffy, spokesman for the club, said: “As a former Bradford Bulls player we are absolutely
devastated that David was killed in such tragic circumstances. Our sympathy goes out to his
family.”
Mr Myers signed for Bradford in 1994 and scored 12 tries in his debut season.
The winger will also be remembered for the 1991 Challenge Cup Final where he scored a vital try at
Wembley to help Wigan defeat St Helens, 13-8. He also played for Salford and Widnes.
Pat Cluskey, Widnes’s operations manager, said: “David was a popular member of the Widnes team
and will no doubt be remembered by many for his celebration as Widnes beat Leeds in the 1993
Challenge Cup Semi-Final at Central Park.
“The side’s performance that day was straight out of the textbook and one that was worthy of
winning a place at Wembley.”
A Warrington Wolves spokesman said: “Everyone at Warrington Wolves sends their condolences to his
family and friends at this very sad time. David made six appearances for the Wire in the 1989-1990
season after signing from Widnes.”
There is a beautiful garden,
In a far away land,
Where God and this sweet angel
Walk hand in hand,
How lucky God is
To have such a treasure
Take care of this angel Lord,
Forever and ever
All my love Anne xx

♥~ In The Light ~♥
A shadow of joy flickered; it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts are
imbedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think
that you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light.
In the corner,
in the hall,
the car,
the yard --
these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish,
it grows stronger.
I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter
in your mind,
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way,
a way that now has its focus changed.
I still crave your understanding and
long for the many words of prayer
and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.
As you struggle to adjust without me,
I watch silently.
Sometimes I summon up all the strength
of my new world
to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love
deeper into your consciousness.
As you should,
I call out to the Heavens for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth
does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.
Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
I protect you,
just as you protected me so many times.
Talk to me and somehow I will
find a way to answer you.
Mother, father, son or daughter
it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover,
husband or wife, it makes no difference.
Whatever our connection-friend or even foe-
I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
where ever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.
When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.
Our love for you truly does
transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest
that you had when we were together
in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly,
you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you
and I am in the Light.
