I wonder if any Cas supporters can help me out. I am trying to name the Cas team (including subs) who played in the RL Championship Final of 1969 against Leeds.

Thanks for the reply Disco but they don't have the Cas team for that game. So if anyone can get hold of it I'd be much obliged. Castigers is a great site by the way. There's a bit on the match here @ johnholmesleedsrl.piczo.com/?g=55447687&cr=6

I was just about to say that.

Thank you one and all!

My mum was there big cas fan my mum bless her

Ok I didn't check, but I'm surprised - It's THE definitive source for Cas fans. I'm sure the details'll be added in due course.

are you sure frank fox was not actually called fred fox. I worked with an ex cas player (who played during the sixties) and he was definately fred. Seems a coincidence if not.

nope deffo Frank there is no Fred Fox listed in Lens book and he lists all first team players till 1986 with the exception of Tony Spears

I also check the programme and with my Dad who was at the match

i wonder if he goes by the name fred. He definately played during the sixties. I remember a story he told me about him being an unused sub in the challenge cup final. How, they were told to take a kiwi full back out as early as possible and how you could hear his jaw crack from the subs bench. Ouch!

FranK was sub in 1969 but they didn't use the subs then so he didn't play

he is definately our man then. I wonder why he calls himself fred. He has some great stories about cas at that time. Best one is how the coach at the time used to go over the road to the pub at half time. He said they were playing a team that was supposed to be a walk over and they knew the following week was a tough match so they took it easy. They went in at half time eighteen up. When the coach came back from the pub at half time he told them none of them were not going to be paid formnv trying!

possibly his Dad was called Frank as well my cousin does that, his Dad is also Peter but he uses his middle name of Lee

How come you turned out normal then bazzo44?

Normal, thats funny, very funny

Was it Frank Fox a blind side prop signed from Hull KR?

Aye, my grandad is called Sa. But my Dad, Uncle and me all get called Sam. Even though its not our names. Strange really. One of my Dads mates came into my work. Everyone wondered why the hell he was calling me Sam

My dad calls me Sam, and all his mates call me Sam, and my uncle and cousins call me Sam. My name isn't Sam and neither my dad, grandad or great grandad are called Sam. My dad just wants to call me Sam. Confusing for some when he does it but i just think it's funny.

I've never been called Sam.




Just thought I'd say …

me either

He was

Wasnt sure but I thought he might be.He was/is a Wakey lad worked with him at Parkhill Colliery. A good prop at KR allegedly made Flanagan the hooker he was

Are you me marshy?

alright Sam? There you have now!
