1993 Eddie Rombo – fan’s favourite
Kenyan Eddie Rombo joined Dewsbury from Leeds RLFC in November 1991. In his first season, he would Rombo go on to score 22 tries in the 20 matches he appeared in (scoring 5 tries in one match -Dewsbury vs Highfield 1/3/1992).
He was soon a firm favourite of the fans – his pairing on the wing with Dennis Bailey meant the Dewsbury club was feared for it’s “flying wingers.”
Rombo was combining a sporting career with studying for a law degree.
He is now practicing law in Nairobi.
