Wakefield Trinity • Re: Autographs
I was never a big collector of autographs and apart from that of the great Neil Fox and Tom van Vollenhoven my prized possession was that of of my hero Jan Prinsloo, who on arriving to play for Trinity, moved into a house opposite us on Flanshaw with his family. I was about 14 at the time and eventually plucked up the courage to go across and ask him for his autograph which he gladly signed on his kitchen worktop over his name in an old St Helens programme that I had. Rather amusingly, the lady who lived next door to him was a bit of a Hyacinth Bouquet sort of character and on hearing of his imminent arrival told all the neighbours that a member of South African royalty was coming to live next door.... A Prince Lou!! Honestly!!
