    I remember Jack as a strong left wing for Bramley. Tough player and good finisher. He left Bramley to play at Bradford Northern

    Remember him making his debut for his first professional club Wakefield Trinity. A Stocky no nonsense wingman whose powerful bursts of speed took some stopping. A pleasure to watch, and one of the characters of his time.

    Jack is still alive and well.
    We live in Thornhill, Dewsbury.
    He still likes to go out for a few drinks with the lads.
    Unfortunately, grounded with the Virus but he will be back in The Woodman, Batley Carr just as soon as the pandemic is over.
    Thank you for all the nice comments.

    My friend Shaun Dunford played wing for Dewsbury in the early 80's. Jack was his centre and together they played some amazing rugby. Jack was always entertaining, to say the least... ;-)
