Louis Parperis - Orwell 63-70: "The photo is interesting for the two missing team members: Jim Cottrell, who played at centre and Jim Wild, a wonderful N°8 and along with Chas Knight and John Morri, the most destructive tacklers I saw in my seven years at WH. As all three were in Orwell, I was saved from having to face them! Malcolm Godfrey must have been an intimidating prospect for opposition scrum-halves as he was about 6’2”/1.88m and in the following season moved into the back row, allowing Ron Tudor to maintain his half-back partnership with Jim Cottrell."
David Waight Corners 65-72: "Brings back memories of watching those Gods of the game in my junior years; everyone aspired to emulating them, and it seemed like the whole school turned out to watch home games."
