Biography

Rated the fastest forward in the game during the 1920s after finishing third behind Benny Wearing in the '100 yards Championship of the League' in 1923 (he easily won the forwards race!) 'Curly' Lapham started his career with St George. He joined Souths in an era when the club won four premierships (1925-28).
