Thought the Westwood thing had been done before and that the conclusion was that he was born elsewhere, but brought up in Bradford from an early age.



If we're talking Bradford Met, then we could also chuck in Chris Feather, Peter Roe & Dean Raistrick and - for Bradfordians playing for other clubs - Simon Haughton.

Isn't that Quins winger Will Sharp from Bradford too?

Not one of the greatest ever obviously but it's another one for your list

Ian Ormondroyd?

Steve McGowan!

Don't know where he was born, but we got him from Leeds Academy.

Jack Kitching was born in Bradford, first represented Yorkshire at RU with Bradford RU before seeing the light. Toured on the famous Indomitable tour of '46 and was involved in the notorious biting incident in the first test. Played in Northern's three Challenge \cup finals, a very strong running centrewho was quality, how we could do with him now.

I was thinking about the team of my Dad's era. I had ruled out: Davies, Whitcombe, Foster, Edwards & Radford (Welsh); Philips, MacLean, Hawes & Seddon (Kiwis); the Wards (Shaw Cross); Traill (Cumbria); Batten (Hunslet?); Carmichael (Hull?); and Winnard (St. Helens). It didn't leave many to consider, so I'm glad to hear that Kitching actually was Bradfordian.

Mate of my granddad's, chief constable of west yorkshire, wasn't he?

Thought he was a schoolteacher?

Pretty sure he was a coper of some description, might have to row back on just how big a wig he ended up though.

Phil Jackson

I'm sure he used to go to my dentist in Baildon, and the dentist said he was from Windhill
