Dave Bolton

Creative Great Britain Test half (1958 and 1962 Lions tours) joined Balmain in the mid-1960s. Bolton played in the Balmain side that defeated Great Britain in 1966 but after returning to England on loan to the struggling Blackpool Borough club, he was injured and almost didn't return for the 1969 season. His guile in that year's grand final led the way in Balmain's shock 11-2 win over Souths. Bolton's two field goals kept the Rabbitohs at bay while he continued to direct play around the rucks. Bolton retired from football when dropped to reserve grade the following year but coached P’matta in 1973-74. He was assistant coach to Tim Sheens at Penrith in the mid-1980s but despite several attempts, could not crack it back into the competitive first grade coaching scene.
