Title: Help: One for the more mature OERites
Post by: one-eyed on April 05, 2006, 03:25:58 PM
We've received an email asking about certain RFC players' numbers. A bit before my time so we need some help.

ps. If you know of others from yesteryear I'm sure the person would very much appreciate them also. 

-------------------------

Dear Friend,

As a Tiger supporter since 1949 I am disappointed that I am unable to find the numbers that the footballers of the past wore on their jumpers.  Collingwood provide that info on their website, we've gotta be better than them!

I first want to know the numbers worn by the following players: (all played {at least} between 1950 and 1960)

Max Oppy
Mopsy Fraser
Ray Poulter
Dr Brian Davies
Geoff Spring
Jack O'Rourke
Ron Branton

Jack O'Rouke was number 4
Ron Branton was number 29 - I think there was another good player who had that number -

Yes mate, but only up to 1996.

It would be great if a second edition up to 2007 could be produced.

Oh bye the way MJS did you see the 'big grab' by Jack against Collingwood. They were running straight towards me where i sat in the in the outer and he rose above the pack like an atomic mushroom cloud.
It was something else  :thumbsup
