safeway56 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I was there Latch but I can't remember who was stand-off. Could it have been one of the Gwillam brothers ? If you fancy parting with some of your hard earned, this will tell you. ..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1975-Rugby-LeagueChallenge-CupFinal-WARRINGTON-v-WIDNES-/110602669907?pt=UK_Sports_Memorabilia_ET&hash=item19c06ecf53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teessidewire Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 One of that good looking bunch was sent to jail for murder some time after that Wembley Final. Safeway, I can't remember who that was. Give us a clue. One person I can certainly remember is Tommy Lomax. He was an ex-boxer and unbelieveably fit. He must have been well into his seventies when that picture was taken. I was at both the 74 and 75 finals and if asked I would have placed John Grant in the 75 team. He was the Aussie who came over for the 74-75 season in the same way that Dave Wright came over for the previous season. If I remember rightly, Grant was a centre or winger and later played for Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Latch.... just realised that I forgot to scan the programme for you as I got sidetracked... sorry Your email address is NOT on your profile page though so can you send me a 'pm' and I'll scan and email it to you later.

safeway56 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 No probs will do it tomorrow as its a bit late now and I've eaten too many haloween sweeties The person in question isn't in that picture but he played in the final v Widnes. It was so long ago it wouldn't be right to bring it up again. I'm sorry I mentioned it now....trying to be smart I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 No wonder it didn't make sense to me.. was wondering how to answer that one Do you want me to change it for you or shall we just leave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teessidewire Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sorry...the above was a response to Teesidewire. Safeway, you're absolutely right. Did you read my comment re Tommy Lomax. He was old when I was a 10 or 11 year old kid watching them train at Loushers Lane. He was the Conditioner/Masseur for absolutely years.

safeway56 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yes, I remember him running onto the pitch with the traditional magic sponge..He appeared to my young eyes to be around 80 years old but I don't suppose he could have been that old.
