Nicky Kiss is a former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s. He played at representative level for Great Britain, and at club level for Wigan, as a hooker.[1]
Unhappy with Wigan coach Alex Murphy's decision to sign another hooker, Howie Tamati, Kiss requested to be placed on the transfer list in September 1983.[6] He eventually quit the club altogether,[7] but settled his differences with Wigan following Murphy's departure at the beginning of the following season.
Kiss was rewarded for 10 years of service with a Testimonial match at Wigan that took place in 1988, kicking a late conversion - the only goal of his career.
Kiss suffered a bad arm injury shortly after the start of the 1989-90 season, which coupled with a car accident, led him to miss the rest of the year. In September 1990, he announced his retirement on medical advice.[17]
