Some of these names go back a bit. Can anyone make up a Bradford 17 that all came direct from union?
Some like Jim Mills and Berwyn Jones came from other clubs.

Darrall Shelford, Brett Iti, Gerald Cordle.
Neil Summers was one of our colts who went to union then came back IIRC.

Tough one this. One's I can remember/know of are:
Gerald Cordle
Phil Ford
Darrall Shelford
Jon Scales
Matt Cook
Mike Forshaw (League to Union, back to league and then back to union again)
Andy Hodgson (a real push at this one if he gets in... signed from Wharfedale RFU)
Does Robbie and Henry Paul count after their brief flings with Union?

Think the Paul's are a bit of a stretch. They're both league lads really.
Think we need a hand from our more "experienced" posters with this team!

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Jon Scales came to us from Leeds so woudn't really count on our list, imo also Mike Forshaw played for both Wakey and Wigan before us, iirc, so neither were "our" conversions.

Beer is the root of all my problems, ironically it solves them too Homer
Simpson that is: |
|

Len Haley who played thru the 50s into the60s came from Cleckheaton RU
I remember 3 South Africans who I think came from RU in the 60s Rudi Hasse, Goolam Abed and Enslin Dlambulo.

We can't claim Frank Whitcombe as he signed professional for Broughton Rangers before coming to Bradford but from the 40s team we could have a back row of Barry Tyler, Brian Radford and Hagen Evans plus Emlyn Walters on the wing. There were two more South Africans from the 60s in Vernon Peterson and Goolam Abed, although Abed had trials at Leeds but was then signed for Northern.

Not 100% sure but David Treasure (1973 cup semi final hero from Yorkshire Copperworks RUFC), David Cooper (1980's/90's squad full back/centre from Wakefield RU) and Gary van Bellen (from Wakefield RU)?

Sorry, didn't read it properly... just saw Bradford ex union players, not the directly bit.
If thats an essential pre-requisit, I think the answer to the thread is... NO!!!
Job done, lets all move on  |
