Jack Kitching was a schoolteacher in Bradford, following his retirement from Northern he moved up to Cumbria, where he was involved in coaching, Whitehaven I believe, and I also informed he dabbled in politics. Served in the Royal Navy during the war as an officer, and was torpedoed, spending four hours in the Irish sea before being rescued. Them was assigned to convoy duties in the med guarding convoys to Malta, hardly a safe posting.

Such a small world. Was that Pitts the younger?
The fact of the matter is that Bradford isn't a Rugby Town. With no disrespect to the district amateur sides but the city has, in the scheme of things, bugger all Rugby League.
Hence the shockingly poor number of homegrown chaps we can quote in this thread. Its meant we've had to cast our eyes extremely wide to find new talent like our Cumbrian jaunts.
