Your old man would be correct.

I think your dad is right. I know my memory isn't what it was but I was a regular at the Boulevard in the 50's and 60's when Hull had the most fearsome pack I've ever seen, and I'm pretty sure this is Bomber Harris.

I've had a look through my Hull fc team photos from the 50s and I don't think it is tommy Harris tbh. He was facially different, stockier and never had that crop of hair. IMO of course.

Yes the no. 6 in 3 is Rocky Laurie who captained ND that day.

The old numbering system had the hooker wearing 12 and the props 11 and 13.

On second thoughts and some more research it might also possibly be Mick Sullivan the amazing winger and former record caps holder for GB.

The players behind Crooks are Paul Dixons legs, Henderson Gill, and it could be Paul Eastwood,maybe the older Hull fans would have a better idea,and Schoey.

At the start of the 1989 season I believe.
