Sad but true.

I first saw Ellery and Henderson Gill playing for Northern colts v Leeds colts in a game before the first team match around 1978. Both were outstanding and I think Nobby may have been playing too.

Thanks John it looks good.

Remember his powerful runs down the wing.RIP

Correct both big lads who should have gone further. Mark played in the same Dewsbury Colts side as my brothers which also includes the aforementioned Andrew Parkinson. They weren't a bad side but we're up against some great teams such as Hunslet Parkside (including Gary Schofield etc) and St John fishers the majority of whom were then signed by Dewsbury (Carl Gibson and Roy Powell didnt)

We all used to sing it at last orders in the pubs.( Ten pints down the line)

I don't know about that I honestly can't recall seeing him play, but a unique achievement nevertheless.

Harry Beverley. How high did he lift those knees?

Does anyone know of any other player who has played in every position for the same club? Gary achieved this at York in the late seventies / early eighties I believe.

Wigan 0 Bradford Northern 9 premiership semi final 1990. Great defensive display from a great pack. Skerrett Noble Hamer Hobbs Fairbank Pendlebury. We were pants in the final v Wishes.

I was at that game though I thought Bridgend were the opponents (could be wrong brains gone to mush during the lockdown)

Chris Mita was special

By the "clap for the carers" is a rather unfortunate title.
