Therein73 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Just seen on Bulldogs forum, reports that Jeff Grayshon has passed away ............. Such sad news - one of our all-time greats. A lot of great memories Jeff ........... Thank you & rest in peace sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I have just found out too. Really sad news about Jeff. Of course this stirs memories of seeing some useless second team full back called into the first team to play at second row through injuries to other players and suddenly what a successful player we had. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ramfan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Also Kevin Osborne has passed on too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It gets worse. Kevin was such a nice bloke and did not look any older when I last saw him at one of our get together evenings. At that time he was most concerned about his friend and fellow centre, Brian Firth. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Gutted to hear this. Remember the first game I saw in January 1974 Jeff scored two tried to help us beat Castleford. He was one of the greatest Dewsbury players I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Ram Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 No-one of a certain vintage can forget Jeff’s immense contribution to us winning the title in 73 and beyond as a fine second row forward. Requiesat In Pachecm Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therein73 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Lovely piece on the website now about Jeff and Kevin Osborne .......... I've mentioned this before, but I'll never forget the day my brother and I were part of the way up Leeds Road, proudly wearing our Dewsbury scarves, when Kevin Osborne and Brian Firth pulled up alongside us and gave us a lift up to the ground......... We were there ages before kick off, but it didn't matter.... We were just thrilled that two stars of 'our' team had actually given us a lift !!! Rugby League, eh ?? Say what you like, it's the greatest game played by some of the finest people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakefield Ram Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I might be wrong but I think he played 48 games out of 48 during our 1972-73 season. Phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein73 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Nice to see the minutes silence for Jeff before the Bulls game last night ..... Shame our performance didn't do justice to him, but at least he was honoured and will always be remembered. Had an ironic smile when the (ruddy annoying) commentator stated that the minutes silence had been impeccably observed ............... What else is going to happen with no-one there ???? R.I.P.

Wakefield Ram Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 750 games over 26 years just unbelievable, pretty much 30 games a year every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
