fevnut Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Over time fevnut has been publishing the ten players in our history who have made the most appearances in each position. In April we published the Prop Forwards and now we move on to the Hookers who made the most appearances. There is only one in the list who played in the Summer Era, a symptom of the rapid turnover of players we have had in the last few years. Access the list by clicking on the link below. https://fevblog452.blogspot.com/2020/10/fev-through-ages-hookers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Saw Arthur Wood play as well as the others. He was a true Fev lad and well known in Featherstone. Went on to play for Leeds. I feel sure he made international honours. When hookers were hookers he was one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are even older than me but find it hard to comprehend that you saw either Charlie Hepworth or Percy Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Sorry didn't see Morris and Hepworth. Saw the rest. First game 1938 went with dad nearly 5. Carried away seeing Arthur Wood again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Used to walk up from Scarborough Terrace. In the back to back house days. I had a feeling that Arthur Wood in his youth lived on the street near Gough's shop. opposite the Square, where I lived until I was 4ish, near Goldings and Candlings and my old mates Billy Parks and Ralph Morgan . There was Chapel Street and Phipps Street somewhere near there. Sorry about the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Phil Loxton Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 That would be a perfect name for one of the new stands "The Scarborough Terrace" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Arthur played for George Street so he must have lived at some time where I said. George Street is near where Phipps St was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
