Had the pleasure today to visit John Etty at his home in Fleetwood.
For those who don't know John signed for Trinity from Oldham for 500 pounds (what a bargain!) and went on to score many tries for us. He was in the Trinity team v Hull at Wembley in 1960.
He's in his 90's but very sprightly and wearing a tie and blazer!
spoke fondly of his days with Trinity and insisted on showing me the Wembley photo's on his wall and his caps and medals.
A gentleman and still interested in Trinity!

Wow. Great thing to be able to do.
Bet he had some great stories.

I remember john Etty, a cracking winger, him on one wing and Fred Smith on the other both had side steps both scored lots of try,s and both could tackle thanks for the memories.

Etty and Smith were 2 of my dads favourite players back in the day.

How’d you end up in that situation Trinity1315?

I served my apprenticeship under an old Cas winger and he always spoke very highly of the man and said he enjoyed playing against him and having a beer with him after the game.

My older brother lives opposite John in Fleetwood, I was visiting him and took the opportunity to go see John. I'm really pleased I did.

He certainly did and I'm sure I could have spent the whole morning there, with cups of tea supplied!
