Question

[tms]

Waiting for rewind to pop up on rovers TV so thought I'd ask you  to name the youngest and oldest to play for FEV

[The Grinder]

pure guesses:

Youngest: Alan Banks

Oldest: Jeff Grayson

 

[Les Tonks Sidestep]

Youngest Karl Pratt

Oldest might have been Eric Batten but Freddie Miller was getting on.

Against St Helens in the cup IIRC.

I would have thought either Grayshon, Batten or Miller for the oldest, but if its neither of them I would have a wildcard guess at Derek (Sam) Windmill, simply because I read somewhere that while he was on the coaching staff he came out of retirement in an emergency for a one off appearance. He was on the staff for the '83 cup win and he must have been mid 40's back then?
