Hi BB2011 - Unfortunately I no longer have anything I can look up that I can help you with. I do remember old Northern programmes in the 1970's did show players appearances and points scored. That would only be partially helpful though (with some career info on Les Gant and Phil Jackson).

It looks to be agreed than Jon Hamer did 10 years. With regard to Gant and Jackson I am reasonably confident they were both on the books for around 10 years. Jackson did play for West Bowling for a time (1979 or 1980) as I played for Dudley Hill against them with him playing. I think Les Gant was a young kid in a 1974 cup tie away to Swinton. He got punched by an old-stager called Barry Philbin and Northern had Graham Joyce sent off for trying to pay Philbin back.

The programmes that used to have a rugby ball shaped picture of Odsal on the cover may be what you need to make some further progress with. There is a programme collectors fair at Odsal on 20 January where you may be able to browse/buy something with useful information in.

Another one, I'm sure Geoff Clarkson was a one club player for us!!!

You're right. He played a few games for us in 92/93 and his last game for us was as a sub versus New Zealand in the tour match in 1993/94.

Geoff was as a serial clubman - he had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus!

He definitely did, but then Foxy liked the tried and trusted!

David Hill played a handful of games with Hunslet in 1976 and 1977 then returned to Queensbury amateurs.

I believe Arnie Long did join Northern as a winger from junior rugby in Huddersfield. Colin Forsyth played for Featherstone and York before Bradford.

Keith Mumby played in the 1992/93 Regal Trophy final against Wigan at Elland Road (sub). He later donated his runner-up medal to auction for Jon Hamer's testimonial fund. Top man as well as top player!
