Steve Slater 604 Report post Posted June 25 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
