1.  Was it Bob Pratt  - :thumbsup

2. Stewie Maxfield - can't think of any more at the moment.   - He was one of them.

3. Bloods - Nup. They were only given this name during the 30's due to the make up of their side

5.  Charlie Ricketts (his wife was my neighbour in the '60s) - can't think of anyone else here either lol.  Did Ian Stewart coach them?  If so, Stewie -  Forgot about Ricketts. He and Stewie are 2 of the 4 now.

7.  Skilts has won 3 - Yep that's half the question correct

9.  Jackson, Teasdale Roberts -  :thumbsup
