My everlasting memory of Dave Bolton was in the 1959 Wembley final and the sight of him haring up the middle with not a Hull player in sight. Wigan were already two tries up and that try more or less sealed the win even though it was still in the first half. RIP Dave and thanks for the memories.
For a Hull supporter that try was a knife to the heart and he had made the previous try for Sullivan too. At half-time it was over at 20-4 and all the tries had been scored at the end I was standing in the glorious sunshine.
Hull had a great team throughout the 50's coached by Roy Francis and I was so confident of a win but Wigan led by McTigue, Bolton, Boston and coached by Joe Egan were truly superb.
