I know exactly when it was so what your saying is wigan submitted a form to take Jordan on a scholarship at under 16s and Jordan turned it down to stay at wakefield.

Oh he'll, you've worked me out

I think you could probably just stopped at "you can't tell me owt"

Just as a matter of interest did you watch the u19s in the mid sixties, the reason I ask is there won't be that many on here what would be old enough to remember"no sarcasm intended

" but that side of 1965 including the likes of Dave Hawley,John Godfrey, Brian Cooper etc were without doubt a very special team which won the Yorkshire Cup as well as the Wkd and District cup, and only lost one league game away at Leeds John Burke included because nine of the Wakey side were at Hawleys wedding, no way of comparing them but that was some side that.

Played with brian Cooper and one better John polly perkins

I was at school with Brian Cooper, even then he was a great player played loose forward and was school Captain, not been in best of health recently

By the way i know a Ryan Hampshire but dont know if its the same one, anyone know his dads name?

Susan?

Looks like the drinks kicked in, i,ll leave it at that.

mr Hampshire?

No I didn't Chissit, I'm old but not that old





I've no doubt there's been some outstanding youth teams and it'd be no surprise that we had a great youth team during the 60s when Wakefield as a club were the best in the world.



As you say, hard to compare when you haven't actually watched both reams first hand.

Hmmmmm, Ryan Hampshire's dads name?
