I nearly quit, says grieving Quins star
13 April 2012
Harlequins captain Rob Purdham today revealed he considered quitting rugby league and returning to Cumbria following the murder of his brother Garry.
Semi-professional player Garry Purdham, 31, was one of 12 people shot dead by gunman Derrick Bird
on 2 June.
The Quins captain told the BBC today: "There's such a big hole left from where my brother was and there's so much to do.
"I just felt a part of me needed to be there. But like his wife said, he would have wanted me to do the best in my career."
