Stuart Lancaster and Lee Blackett quick to pay tribute to coach Jim Kilfoyle
FORMER England chief Stuart Lancaster has led tributes to ex-Wakefield, Sandal and Yorkshire coach Jim Kilfoyle saying he was one of the greatest coaches he has ever known.
The enigmatic Liverpudlian died on Boxing Day from coronavirus. Kilfoyle had most recently been in charge at Sandal but – having impressed as a player and coach at Wakefield – was arguably best known for helping unfashionable Rotherham Titans reach the Premiership.
Leinster coach Lancaster, though, remembered him from his own playing days at the now defunct Wakefield.
