think you could be right. Charlie on the wing and I think that could be peter Walsh in thick of it?1988? In fact wasn't this Charlie's first match? Wasn't't he listed as an other?

Is it Colin Hawkyard with the ball??

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

Hmmmm!? Could be. Thought it looked a bit like peter Walsh. But you could be right.

It is Colin Hawkyard against Sprinfield. Charlie was listed as a trialist.

[saints10coach]

Charlie said he thought he had hypothermia in that game. Remember one of the tries he scored, he slid in from about 25 yard out. The new roof on the stand made a right roar as the wind ripped across the corrugated metal.

Omg just realised that match was exactly 25 years ago!!!! And the week after Fordy made his first appearance for us.

The game was from 1987/88 Runcorn v Oldham.

In the programme it states, "A Kevin Meadows hat-trick was the highlight of oldham's 34-8 victory over Runcorn in the club's second division championship season. Other scores came from Des Foy (2) Gary Warnecke and Mal Graham, with Peter Walsh (2) and mick Burke kicking the goals. In the picture Colin Hawkyard tries to find a way through the Runcorn defence."

Note the crowd, if that is the game you state. Runcorn's average home gate was 400 that season and for the Oldham game there was a capacity 3000 crowd.

Certainly was. Remember going to that game and he really wound our forwards up - he was like a mad man, thought he was the dirtiest player I had ever seen, but what a player when he came to Oldham, he was an inspiration to those around him.

[kroy1978]

Wish he played for us now!

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

I remember the game away against Sheffield at the owlerton stadium and cogger was there with the team as a speccy. That was when knew we had signed him. His first game was the week after against Hull at home.

John Cogger and his brother played in the match at Runcorn asi remember. We played Hunslet at Ellend Rd , a night match John came outside the players entrance and gave my wife and i 2 free tickets and yes he was a inspirasion when on the pitch.

never took a backward step. Awesome. What happened to him after he left us?

[oldhamer]

John went back Aus and resides in Sydney now.
