Hi folks,

Obviously new to the board, was wondering if any of you could help me at all. I've been asked to write 1000 words on Tony Banham. There is very little data available from what i can gather.

Do you have, or know where, any is available?

He seems like a cult hero, from some of the stories I have been told from Doncaster fans, from those old enough (and i've asked the Hull FC fans aswell) I'd love to know basically as much as possible about the guy.

Thanks.

Tony went on to play american football at Ennerdale for Kingston Liberators , he was a big enough f'cker without all the padding.

went into Full measure pub down stoneferry when i was just 17 asked me my age i nearly meself, but laughed and still served me.. a few years later he was working the door of Henrys down anlaby road saw a few people been thrown down the stairs from tony !!!!!!!!!

Tony moved to the Leeds area as a licecsee. If I remeber correctly he unfortunatley passed away a few years ago. He once had the Gypsyville Tavern which was quite a rough place but Tony kept it all in order.

Remember a load of us going there one sunday on route to Headingley, ooh that was a day and half

I copped off with his daughter in my teens. I remember knocking on her door to walk to school with her and he opened the door in his dressing gown and he had to stand sideways because he was that wide.
