I played a 4 or 5 games for Yorkshire Amateurs maybe around 72 and if memory serves me right I`m sure we won a Cup of some description that year. Memory not as good as it used to be!Don`t suppose you ever played with an Ian Green who was at St Kevs at the time?
No Chapy can’t remember Ian Green, although it’s nearly 50 years back lol. St Kev’s though, that brings back some memories. It was just up the road from John Smeatons really, and was a High school back then. John Smeatons already had a few problems when I was there, but it went on to become one of the worst schools in Leeds and ended up on Channel 4’s dispatches programme. I was happy to blame it on schools like St Kev’s, because we got all the lads who had been excluded from there. It wasn’t a reciprocal deal though, because St Kev’s wouldn’t accept non Catholics back then, so we couldn’t dump our wrong un’s on them. It led to Smeatons becoming a bit of a one way dumping ground. At least we gave the world Josh Warrington, not a bad claim to fame.
