I'd add Steve Hampson - Vulcan RU, I believe.

Quinell, Inga, Offiah and Preston

[Wintergreen]

I'd add Steve Hampson - Vulcan RU, I believe.

As any reader of the old matchday programs would tell you!

Spot on, as anyone who remembers wintergreen would tell you!

Standing in th'En Pen and smelling wintergreen (not you personally!) as the players came out to March of the Gladiators. And only after having asked a bloke "Tek me through, Mister" and paying your thre'pence.

I'm sure you remember it all as well as I do.

Entrance of the Gladiators...think I've been corrected on that before

[The booze hound]

I'd add Steve Hampson - Vulcan RU, I believe.

Which is now a new housing estate, a football pitch and an Aldi superstore.

Trevor Lake was a great wingman. Played same time as Billy B on the opposite wing, obviously sorry!
One of the first I saw was Rees Thomas, signed from Swinton but from Welsh RU.

George Fairburn was the best. Kelso RU

[Second Row]

I thought Billy Boston was pretty good
