Eddie Hemmings (rugby League) - Influence

Influence

On 13 February 2009, commentating on a St Helens and Warrington Wolves match, Hemmings called for the names and numbers on the back of the Warrington away shirt to be changed as he found it hard to read. Warrington Wolves recognised this and two weeks later, in a match between Wakefield Wildcats and Warrington Wolves, Warrington altered their away shirt through having a white background behind the numbers.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:

    Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.
    Korean proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)

    It behooves every man to see that his influence is on the side of justice, and let the courts make their own characters.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A bestial and violent man will go so far as to kill because he is under the influence of drink, exasperated, or driven by rage and alcohol. He is paltry. He does not know the pleasure of killing, the charity of bestowing death like a caress, of linking it with the play of the noble wild beasts: every cat, every tiger, embraces its prey and licks it even while it destroys it.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
