After he retired from playing, Featherstone hooker Bob Spurr began coaching at local amateur level, and then Rovers’ own Academy team. It was from that team that his son emerged through the ranks. Chris Spurr made his first team debut in the post-season Treize Tournoi in 1998 when a number of youngsters were blooded. Indeed, his debut coincided with Jamie Rooney’s. Spurr’s first full game was on the wing in the return fixture against Limoux, an occasion he marked with two tries in a big 54-10 win. It wasn’t until 2002 however that he finally established himself in the first team, making one of the centre spots his own. At the end of that season he was surprisingly released. He moved on to Batley, then York, before suffering a serious injury representing the England Students side. He played a career total of 47 games for Featherstone, including nine off the bench, and managed a very reasonable 21 tries in that time.
