1950 - Unidentified XV -
What we know about this image :
Another intriguing image, marked as Rovers 1950, but no indication of the opposition, nor the occasion, in addition the Dressing Room/Clubhouse behind the players has yet to be identified?
The only players traced to date are Ian Coulson (Rovers) second from the right in the back row, in the middle row Stan Kaiser (Rovers) is seated extreme left and, in the middle, holding the ball (and probably the captain?) is Jim Collard from West and to his right is Danny Noddings, also West. The strip the players are wearing could be an “Old Dunelmians” rig.
Any information would be appreciated, it could possibly be a Henry Smith Former Pupils or Old Boys side. At this time it was popular for individuals to raise a XV under their own name, it is possible this could also be an ad hoc side for a special occasion.
