this photo was taken at Central Park and is NOT the 1963 Wembley team as there is one glaring error!
But who is the player missing?
Free pint of Boddies in Sams Bar for first correct answer!
hooker, sayer?
bloody hell Cliff!tha reet!
see you in Sams tomorrow tea time!!
Is it Frank or Bill Collier?
i think thats most of the 62/63 team that lost against wakefield 25-10 at wembley, i think it was alan davies and frank pitchfords only wembley final,gert coetzer srored twice for wakefield, rocky turner didn't play for wakefield that day because of injury,think it was a bloke named pearman who took his place
That's Frank Collier, his bro' Bill was a friend o'mine.
Both sadly deceased
Didn't Frank Collier used to have the Off-Licence near Carnegie Library?
Sad indeed Art.
Bill was a good friend of my parents rip Bill
Please can anyone who knew my grandad Bill and uncle Frank get in touch. I'm doing some research on them both and would love to know any stories about them especially in their younger days. It's lovely to see the posts re them on here. My grandad was a fantastic man, albeit very sarcastic, but a top top bloke.
