I still have mine from a little earlier than that - a muddy Autograph from Wally Lewis. Others included Alex Murphy & ellery Hanley. My grandmas milkman played for Carlisle (called Sammy Sanderson I think ) & he kindly took it to games and asked the opposing team to sign for me. Never met the gent but an amazing thing to do & made me as a young lad well happy.

Quote: PopTart "That was a good team in the 80s.'"


Having supported Trinity for nearly 40 years now I could pick a fair few teams like that one. That was probably the first though. The first of a number of teams that we have created that with a little more investment could have been something special.

I’d virtually stopped supporting Trinity by late 2015 for this very reason. Since then it’s all changed and although we are yet to truly break through it feels very close now or at least it did pre Corona.

Fingers crossed we come through intact and can carry on the good work.

Quote: little wayne69 "Aye we all remember the South Africans or most of them anyway, but who can remember that winger we signed who only played a handful of games, Jan Loitret, that might get you thinking.'"


I remember the name but he was just before my time, but I think he was the catalyst for Alan Skene coming over, and of course, others followed.

Like 1315, I only have vague memories of Jan Lotriet, but am I correct in thinking that the South African that was in the vanguard was one, Ivor Dorrington, who I recalll played in the pack?

I started watching trin in 1958 the same time as he signed for the club, I say that but to be honest I only went to about half a dozen games that first season so I don't remember him either but for some reason I never forget his name, according to Wikipedia he only played 3 games for the club the first being at Cas away in which he scored a try and as a 10 year old I probably didn't even know where Cas was never mind going there, so straight away that's a third of the games he played gone, I think that maybe i might have seen him play, with me remembering his name but I honestly don't know, I do remember Ivor Dorrington in the second row so at a guess I'd say he was probably the first South African here but I don't know for sure.

The official list of Wakefield Trinity players states that Ivor Dorrington made his debut in 1958 and his last match was in 1959-60 season, wayne. He played 12 games.
The most recent South African that I can bring to mind is Nick Du Toit.
