Ged Smith who played over 70 games for Widnes between 1962 & 1965 has died. After he left Widnes he went on to play for Oldham.
RIP Ged.
Back "in the day", I used to play RU with Ged for Wade Deacon GS on a Saturday morning followed by RL for St Ambrose in the afternoon.
We had some good days together, Ged, thanks.
I think it is remissive of the club not to have posted on the Vikings web site about this yet as at Wednesday 10 September.
I meant remiss not remissive.
Two days agoI think it is remissive of the club not to have posted on the Vikings web site about this yet as at Wednesday 10 September.
@prisoner It has not been posted on the Official Widnes Vikings News site though. Not everyone sees Facebook.
@geoffw If you are able to see the website then you are able to see facebook.
@prisoner Like @geoffw says not everyone wants to be on Facebook so unless you are signed up to Facebook you can't view it via the website. As far as I know anyway.
More people may well view the clubs info on Facebook than on the club website but it wouldn't take much effort to put it on both.
I also played RU with Ged for Wade Deacon and RL for St Ambrose.
A sad loss.
