Flanagan came to Fartown when Wally went to Oldham in our first season at Leeds road, think Davis must have had to make way to Steve Kerry who was a pretty good player

Didnt we get a french fullback at the same time who was pretty classy IIRC?

Yeh Laurent Luccese (spelling?) he was pretty good, did'nt Sylvain Houles come at the same time also

A few years later.

yeh you are right although im pretty certain Luccese came with another French player at the same time ,centre or winger

Houles came with Yaccine Dekiche (excuse the spelling).

Can't remember about Luchesse though it rings a faint bell.

Only saw Wally Gibson play once, I'm still young!

Cheeky young pup

Dean Hanger was the player brought in to replace Brad Davis, Lawrence left in Fairbairn's re-shuffle of our three-quarters which saw Greg Austin and Darrel Shelford signed to play in the centres, Brimah Kebbie on one wing and Phil Hellowell moved to Full Back.

Forgot about Darrel Shelford, great in defence but about as quick as a sideboard on castors

yeah jg ---but solid as a rock!!

just before that --I enjoyed the Kerr / Thomas partnership!

brad played then and I believe naidole,senior st hilaire fairbank and fogerty
thats when we started to turn the corner in my view!
but it had been a bloody long u bend!

Big Joe in the Centres, what a sight eh.

Ball in one hand, oppositions face in the other. 50/50 chance of him not dropping the ball.

....and not forgetting the somersault over the line !!

I'd forgotten about that! What a sight.

You should have seen him doing it for Deighton Woolpack. Christ, the team Deighton had back then would have probably beaten Huddersfield! Jamesy, Carlton Farrell, Wally, Billy Stephenson, C*nter, Joe, Darkesy. It was a really good team.

Billy was signed by Dewsbury wasn't he. And C*nter's name really suited him.

Carlton went to Keighley too I think.

He did that against Barrow in the very first game at the Galpharm and Neil Warnock who was the Town manager at the time nearly wet his pants

the one and only pierre jammes!

think he only played 4 or 5 games for us though?

o/t jonny, you going to the city ground saturday to see the latest installment of father ted's great escape

i'm thinking he 1st did it away to doncaster?

I have a few more from that era. I'll post them when I have time.

I asked Mick Murphy if I could take some photos of the ground. I wish I'd asked if I could take some interior ones.

Man I love those old shirts.

Pierre Jammes thats him ,tall and skinny and yeh 3 of us going down to the City Ground tommorrow,managed to blag some freebie tickets through Thomas Cook.

Played em a few times wasn't Tom Nadiole down there too and what was the loose forward called, went to Oldham IIRC?

The Hawkyard Bros!
