Tony Banham died in 1997 and is buried in Leeds, he was like a brother to me and I still miss him today. If you were ever in the shit it was great having Tony as a friend.
Only just found these. I've sat up 'til the wee small hours watching the lot. I was brought up with this. Dave Varey - my all time hero. And an out and out thug. :) Tony Banham - where is he now? George Pflaster.... And Stuart PIper too.
Thanks ComeOnYouDonny. Made my day this has. Proper rugby league. Crap. But proper.
Knowing what has happened to a couple of the players, it brings a lump in the the throat at the end of the film. They were genuine blokes and not like some of the time wasters of today.
Thanks very much for these films. Proper rugby league. I still have my Doncaster and Huyton Appreciation Society badge (and perhaps even the membership card somewhere) from round this time.
