Quote: DABHAND "Think big Dennis Hartley and Bill Ramsey started there and of course the great Billy Batten'"
Saw Dennis Hartley when Hunslet lost to Wigan in the CC at Wembley in 1965.
In 1970 I was at the SCG for two matches when GB won both and secured the Ashes having been thrashed in the first match in Brisbane - GB have not won a series since.
Dennis like my namesake played in all 3 Ashes matches with Cliff Watson as the other prop and Johnny Whiteley was the coach.
As for the great BB. my dad was a huge fan and he was the first Hull player I remember him talking to me about his career and greatness.
