I've come across a photograph of E. McDonald Bailey dated 1953 taken during a friendly match between Leigh and Wigan, during which he scored a try. I've been told so far that this was the only time that EMB played for Leigh. I've also discovered that he was the athletics coach for the Trinidad and Tobago team at the 18th. Olympic Games held in 1964 in Tokyo, Japan.

The question that I cannot get answered is the identity of the Wigan player on EMB's left?? Any suggestions, please.

Thank you peawapp and Clitheroe.

Great to read that the chap is still around.

A friend of mine happens to know Ronnie Hurst's address and asked him whether it was he in the photo. Apparently not...and Ronnie doesn't know who it is either.

I'm sorry for the wild goose chase. I thought it could have been Ronnie.

My memory is not what it used to be and I have enjoyed a few beers since 1952

No worries. I'm grateful that you tried to help me.

Is it safe to venture into the Wigan section??
