Jason Robinson hailed Maurice Lindsay as a fantastic rugby league pioneer after the former Wigan Warriors chairman died aged 81 last week.
Lindsay was in charge of the Warriors when a teenage Robinson arrived at the club and presided over Wigan’s eight league titles and nine Challenge Cup wins during the 1980s and 90s.
Most notably, however, Lindsay helped deliver the trailblazing move to summer rugby and proposed the creation of Super League in his role as the Rugby Football League’s chief executive.
