No, this is Tony Garforth, originally signed for Trinity from Ossett Trinity.

Paul Tiger Handforth ! He was given the name Tiger after his dad.

I remember the lad, he was the landlord of the Grey Horse for a time, I'm sure I played alongside his dad down at Bellevue along with such as Terry Crook, I've got meself confused with Garforth somehow.

Correct Wollo. He jumped off the bus outside what was the Midland Bank at the top of Westgate for an evening paper. The streets around the house where he lodged though were in Leeds.
I was at that last match of Wally Lewis at Thrum Hall and managed to get his autograph for my lad. One of the few grounds that was even less attractive than BV, you could say.

Surely you mean the INFAMOUS Dolphin, Lindsay. The things that went on on in that place made the national Sunday papers back in the day. Tommy Fisher was the landlord and it's his band playing in the film.

Tommy Fisher ran a pub in Barnsley before moving to the Dolphin, possibly The Three Cranes.
You sound very much like a chap who would have been a follower of The Dreaded Kalahari Bushmen, BLM. Who can ever forget those nights with Heppy and the boys in the Flanshaw Hotel, Balne Lane club on a Monday and the Wakefield Arms. Good days eh?

| Great memories of Frank Hepworth and the Kalahari Bushmen, I seem to remember Frank having a nightclub just off the Bullring later in life.

Opposite Woolworths would be the Dog & Gunn. Dolphin was round the corner at the bottom of Warrengate. Changed name to Wakefield Pride later but not sure what its called these days or if it's even there any more?
