Re: Keighley RLFC

Terry was a great player who returned to play his first Club in the late 60's and still had his old magic.

I remember asking him about his ony international game at Headingley to which he gave an interesting response:

He caught the train from Keighley to Kirkstall and walked up the hill to the ground with his boots in a brown paper carrier-bag. He was not recognised as a player at the 'Players' Gate' and had to pay at a turnstile to even get into the ground. Once inside he made his way to the changing rooms where he was completely ignored by his (so-called) fellow-players, who seemed to resent his selection, which was also the case on the pitch.

Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 1959-66

Current location (optional) Shoreham-by-Sea

Re: Keighley RLFC

Attended Terry Hollindrake's funeral on Friday. A full house gave a great man a wonderful send off. Terry's granddaughter Brogan sang a wonderful, tearful rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. He would have very proud.
