Moose Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Legendary Hunslet RLFC scrum - half Ginger Burnell has passed away age 95. He played for Yorkshire, England and Great Britain, also serving as a a Submariner during World War II. Hunslet was his only club playing in over three hundred games before and after the war. He was also a gifted artist and once famously quoted, after being told by an armchair critic that he was no Leonardo da Vinci 'Happen not, but I was a sight better bloody scrum - half than he was' RIP Ginger.
