Ullman Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Just now, Hela Wigmen said: Wasn’t that Oldham, not Hull KR? They definitely played for Hull KR. Played most of that season in their 'A' team but got a game at Widnes that day as Hull KR were resting some of their squad ahead of a game that I would have preferred not to recall.

Jinking Jimmy Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Two Italians at Wigan (1957) Tony Rossi (possibly not real name) and Tony Romano. I think Wigan also gave trials to an American called Chuck Wiseman, possibly early sixties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think French Guiana is an overseas department, so it returns representatives to Paris in French general elections and is territorially within the EU.

I would say Stanley Gene, although born in PNG, is the only one old enough but he stopped playing a while back. Hull FC....The Sons of God...
