i had never heard of oulton and i thought sanderson had tragically passed away at salford the year before may god rest his soul

You are thinking of Chris Sanderson, this one was John ' Sammy ' Sanderson,signed from Halifax IIRC .Willie Oulton was from Wakefield, a great goalkicker,but general play a bit dodgy. Had a brother Henry who played for Trinity

The scrum half was Sammy Sanderson originally from Featherstone.

thank you to everybody very knowledgeable fans you are indeed much appreciated

Yes. Different times. 80 minute props and people think modern day players are fitter.





All good stuff although IIRC Leeds signed John 'Sammy' Sanderson from Wakefield.

all after a week down t'pit
