Our banjo plucking friends on the Cas Bakers site have started a similar thread so I thought it would be fun for us to reminisce on the whereabouts of former greats and not so greats and see what became of them after they walked up St Michaels Lane for the last time.

Here's a couple of starters for 10.

Ian Wilkinson and Norman Francis

I havn't a clue where those two are, but more recently Jamie

Thackray is playing for Limoux in Sth France after leaving Barrow.

wonder what happened to Paul 'that try' Sterling

Coaching basketball isn't he?

Colin Maskill was on the coaching staff down the lane, but not sure what he's doing now, so too was Andy Hay.

Andy Hay is now on the coaching staff at Hull

Last time I saw Norman Francis he was stood in my kitchen waiting to pick up his daughter after a party at our house.

Quiet lad.

I think he's on that FaceTime site. Friends with Jordan Tansey ironically!

gary schofield a total hero but seems to go from one disaster to another

What happened to Richie Spedding?!

John Bentley apparently has a restaurant in Halifax that I am hoping to try in the near future!

Beat me to it.

Last time I saw John Bentley was at Sinnys testimonial dinner, apparently he does a lot of after dinner speaking time stuff.

Last time I saw Bentos was the home play off game against 'ull. I think he works for Leeds Rugby in some capacity as he seems to favour the tan coloured shoes that most of the clubs coaching staff favour.

Was involved at Leeds Carnegie doing Barrie McDermott's equivalent job of smoozing the business clients up to last season - not sure whats happened to him this season though - is also involved at Cleckheaton RU and is always hovering around the microphone at any function or sporting occasion to be introduced as "British Lion John Bentley" - a very funny speaker too, not afraid of the odd risque story as the well heeled VIP guests, women and children discovered when he gave a little speech at a Moortown Armed Forces fundraiser a couple of seasons ago

What's happened to Paul Dixon?
I know he spent a lot of time at Halifax but don't think he's still there.

Still milking cows in them Calderdale hills

David & Anthony Gibbons are still on their fruit & veg stalls.

i'll be playing rugby with bentos again at the kowloon 10's next march, great lad but thinks he's a comedian instead of telling his rugby stories, doddie wier told all johns jokes before he could at the sportsman's dinner we went to john was none too pleased
