Showing my age now, but I remember our big international forward John Taylor being banned for the 1964 Wembley final.'"
Went to see that match against Widnes and was very disappointed that John Taylor was not in the side. Was living in London and thought he was out through injury. Saw him play for Rovers in Hull a few times and he was a great loose forward. Believe he was the first Robins player to tour with Gt Britain in Aus/ NZ. 'Rocky' Turner was the preferred loose forward in the Ashes matches.( GB won 2-1)
You can really show your age if you watched an earlier excellent Rovers loose forward of 40's/50's vintage who also played for GB in England against NZ. Taken as a kid by my mum to a Rovers match for my first taste of league he stood out like a beacon due to his bald head.....................Alec Dockar.
