Heritage numbers on 17:59 - Jun 6 with 3299 views | RAFCBLUE | How many players have we used in our history TVOS, vs the Bradford 1,300? Gut feel says a lot more remembering a lot short term journeymen passing through vs stable squads at Bradford. | |

Heritage numbers on 20:38 - Jun 6 with 3196 views | TVOS1907 | Remarkably, It looks to be 1300 exactly, made up of 321 pre-War and 979 post-War. However, there is some confusion over some of the players from the 20s & 30s who share similar surnames, such as Wood/Woods, as to whether they were different players or if their names have become confused over time and it's the same man. My list includes players who have appeared for us in any first team competition since we became a league club in 1921, so there are some who have featured in the cups, but not the league and vice-versa. If the club ever pursued it, I'd do a more detailed and accurate search to get the figures spot on, as it would be so important. | |

Heritage numbers on 07:59 - Jun 7 with 3066 views | fermin | Would you not need to go back to 1907? I see Bradford do not have this problem as they were voted into the League immediately after founding in 1903. In fact it was the reason the club changed code from Rugby League to football. | | | |
Heritage numbers on 08:40 - Jun 7 with 3030 views | TVOS1907 | Dunno, you could start the list wherever you decided. I just thought starting when we became a league club was more sensible and easier to trace. | |
