Quote: Benidorm John "Hi Possum, visited the Roosters Club shop in 2008 (world cup) spoke to a young Male assistant named Joey, Very helpful indeed, a real gent, I was looking for some memorabilia from the 60s, Nat Silcock, ex Wigan and Saints was the captain/coach in season 1964? his daughter Sandra married my nephew Kevin (big saints fan), so the task was to bring back a momento for Sandra and her Mum who is still alive and full of life, even though in her mid eighties. That year (or the year before) the Roosters celebrated their Centenary, they had a Tie made with each individual number of every player that had played for Eastern Suberbs and the Roosters, they were on sale for 49 dollars each, however after listening to my mission he donated it to Nats widow Zela for free. what a lovely gesture, Roosters will always be my second team now, (first in the NRL).'"
Great story, well done.
Wasn't Nat Silcock a part of the Silcock family that had the fairgrounds? Now they were big Wigan fans and were season ticket holders and shareholders at Wigan.
If your nephew is part of that same family then we need to meet for that beer we talked about.
