shaun mc Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 On 26/03/2020 at 18:44, Derwent said: Workington have had 3 sets of twins play for them :- Billy & Dennis Martin Billy & Bobby Pattinson Craig & Martin Stalker Plus numerous sets of brothers as already mentioned in this thread. Rob & Shaun Lunt being one not already mentioned. Was there another Pattinson brother - Malcolm who played a few games? Or was he a cousin? There were a number of times both Bobby and Billy played in the same team, and a number of mis-identifications of some misdemeanors! Billy was the more 'mischievous' shall we say, and Bobby took the blame a few times, whilst Billy was grinning like a Cheshire Cat Kyle & Josh White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Slater Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 There must have been quite a few brothers/half brothers with different surnames, although I can't think of any? The closest I can get is former Dewsbury championship winning coach Tommy Smales and his brother Trevor Bailey while they were at Fev, although Trevor was in the juniors at the time. He never got to play professionally due to a serious knee injury and went into coaching, ending up as first team coach at Wakefield, and later Scarborough pirates.

tim2 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Izaac and Joel Farrell are in the current Sheffield Eagles team. Is there something about having the name Farrell that condemns you to being a rugby player? "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agbrigg Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just waiting to get this one in as no one as yet picked up on it yet. In the mid 60,s I remember a hull team come to wakey and the great Clive Sullivan played on one wing and his brother b.sullivan was on the other wing. Infact they looked like twins. They both had lightening pace and I seem to think one of them scored that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
