goldcoaster Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I’m interested in sone pictures of the original York RLFC club that played at Wiggington Rd /Clarence St for over a century. Ive read info on the Knights website as well as in Mike Latham’s Groundhoppers Guide. But I’m wondering if anyone has any photographs of what the original strip looked like and the original club crest/badge. I can’t find a picture anywhere. Are there any York fans (or even non-York fans) who have some imagery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to just be the York Coat of Arms before the Ryedale era I believe mate. And the kit was always amber & black hoops.

I can remember pictures of Geoff(?) Pryce and Peter Roe wearing an amber shirt with a broad black V with white trim IIRC. Circa early 1980s.

paul hicks Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 York had a number of different strips . in the early days they are often pictured in an all white strip and in the 1970s I have photos of them in a red shirt . I did post a number of York photos on the Facebook rugby league historian group some time ago . I have a few hundred slides that im transferring to computer from the 1970s and quite a number from the earlier years although of course they would be black and white photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul hicks Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 here's 3 from the mid 1970s . I was unsure about the blue strip but an explayer who is a lot better at recognising players recons its York. if you want some more examples just ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York oftern had ex Featherstone players in their ranks and also a some of them went to coach York as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He transferred to Hull around 1981 from York and I don't think he went back. He got picked for Yorkshire whilst playing for York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
