I worked with George Banks's son, Arnold, Arnold played for Huddersfield and Cas I think but always lived in his fathers shadow. I got my love of rugby league through knowing George Banks son.
Arnold banks was my brother who sadly died 6 years ago he lived in Derbyshire our Father died in 1994 was a publican for many years in Yorkshire.

Hello Christine, Sorry to belatedly hear of both George and Arnold’s passing. I was reading Keith Macklins’ History of Rugby League and I thought l’d look up the old picture and I read your message.
