Hey do you have any more of the tries that Neil Baker scored
28/06/2015
Scored one of great tries in 1986 V Manly at Redfern. Breaks the line, much past Shearer and regathering to score. Ray warren the commentator makes it a memory never forgotten.

Neil Baker was a revelation for Salford in Super League. Fans still talk about THAT try against Castleford, an 80 yarder chipping over the defence and collecting twice along the way. A real class act.

Neil Baker was brilliant stand off for Salford....I was 15 when I watched him and he would off graced any team
04/08/2017
Neil Baker was quite prolific in kicking field goals - tallying up a massive 20 in the 1986 season !
In those days, low scores were common and so field goals were used more than the current era
10/07/2019
What a Stand Off - one of the best overseas players with skill I have ever seen...
22/09/2019
