Looks like IAN BROOKE [WAKEFIELD T AND BRADFORD N centre,
fourth from left.
Back left is Hull's Johnie Whiteley.
well my very knowledgeable rugby mate ‘Billy’ reckons second left is Reg Gasnier
Just checked images of Reg Gasnier and it isn't him.
Reg Gasnier was my idol when I was at school. After I went, with my dad and uncle, to watch the first test match at Station Road in 1959.( I can remember walking up those station steps from the railway platform as though it was yesterday.) Reg Gasnier scored a hat trick of tries that day. Him and his centre partner Harry Wells were two of the Best Centres I've seen. I believe that last year Reg was living in a nursing home and wasn't to good. It dosn't seem right as I still remember him as he was 54 years ago...
good research Ron! who is it then anybody?
I am not 100% that it is Dave Bolton the mouth,Hair and hands?? also the 2 in light suits are not wearing Lions ties as is Martin and the others are.
AB I think you need to take some warm milk and go to bed!!
Third from the right is David Bolton,and if you ever saw him I just can not understand why you do not think it is him!
The unidentified tall guy second right is St.Helens and Wakefield second rower Brian Briggs. Second left is definitely Reg Gasnier
I think this was from Reg Gasnier's "This is your Life" in Australia.
