The best yet.

 For our younger ( even middle aged ) posters , the one and only Billy Boston going down the tunnel at Central Park, with the kids ' hen pen' on the right

Who owns the copyright and can I get a print of it?

I saw it on Twitter. The account owner appears to be a memorabilia collector.

Some belting photos on that Twitter page. Well worth a look.

It would make a great poster, wouldn't it?

Totally agree. 

The photo could well have been Billy's last game for the Cherry and whites. ( hence why it was taken )  If so that shirt is proudly on the wall in St Pat's clubhouse .A big ask for any player since then to fill it...

A familiar view to many who played against Billy, the back of his shirt.

Don't think it's his last game, too much hair. Then again he did still have some on top.

That's the one where Kenny started pointing to the line and shouting go.

Seeing the old photos the traditional kits always look good for me.

For a few seasons I was club photographer at Featherstone and was lucky enough to be part of a very successful era at the club.

Seeing many successful moments, but also seeing some incredible lows. 

A few years ago I published a post on Sporting Memories website (who do incredible work) - the post was in 2013, see:

This image was one of my favourite ones from that year. 

The then coach, Danny Evans celebrating winning the league for the fourth year on the trot - after quite a traumatic season!

Why?? Did he not know which way to go. ?

Kenny was running as fast as Chika and could probably have out paced him, he was saying don't give it me go for it, he wanted him to have that try. ?
