David Willicombe came north from same Cardiff club as Dixon and Freeman. Big and fast centre who was hard as nails. Sold him to Wigan after he had played for Wales. He played for GB while at Wigan.
John Dalgreen was signed from Shaw Cross Dewsbury. On of the first of new breed of hookers imho. Fast, clever and also hard as nails. Sold to Warrington I believe.
Charlie Renilson. Where do i start with my boyhood hero. Hall of fame. GB international and World Cup player. Over 300 games for Fax. A hero down under with Newtown. He played union in Scotland and for the army which I think is where Fax saw him. Super fast for a forward, his cover tackles were legendary. My brother told of him scoring three long range tries at Keighley while standing in as a winger that game. Apparently he was sick after each one! One of Fax`s best ever in my opinion.
Thank you for that all sound like the type of player I would have enjoyed watching.
