In the era of mining and when professional rugby league players had to work as well as play(60s/70s/80s), in a castleford player was caught sleeping which was an instant sackable offence however the foreman made an exception in the case of this worker as he was a big cas fan and said he needs his sleep he has a big game at the weekend! Who was this Castleford player caught sleeping in the mine? (a clue the week was a week leading upto a Challenge Cup final at Wembley)
anyone know?

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

According to the man himself.

It wasn't a foreman that caught him - it was the Mine Manager. |

[b:3v5chy3z]Brian McDermott paraphrased Peter Fox.
"He'd say if we had 13 Bernard Dwyers we wouldn't lose many RL games. It's the same for us with JJB"[/b:3v5chy3z]:38511.jpg |

If I'd have caught Malcolm sleeping with our lass I wouldn't have even said anything. Cas legend, (Malcolm, not our lass).

If you want a definitive answer AndyPandy, Malcolm talks about this incident on pages 24 and 25 of his autobiography "A life in Rugby League" which he wrote with Harry Edgar. Published in pbk by Mainstream, 1999, ISBN 1840182741. The mine manager was called Granville Craven.
Well worth a read if you can get a copy.
