The great Ken Gee. Stands out a mile...
Wigan won 13-4 with Bradshaw, Nordgren, Lawrenson scoring tries Ted Ward 2 goals, attendance 40500
also Joe Egan, Brian Nordgren, Tommy Bradshaw, Cec Mountford, Ernie Ashcroft, George Banks, Jack Cunliffe and some I can't name. The match was played so late in the extended season because of the very bad winter of 1947.
My father in law Tommy Bradshaw with his buddy Ces ( RIP both)
V. Bradshaw. Did your father in law work at the.Maypole. It is a long time ago, I’m almost sure, that I went to his home, with my dad, around about this date, as my dad was friendly with him.. I remember him showing me his international caps.
I apologise V. Bradshaw. The player whose house I visited with my dad, was Billy Belshaw’s. It would have been 1943/44.
I was 2 days old when this match was played!
