Question. King George Old Timers
- Thread starter Gazr76
- Start date
Pretty sure they were a Canadien touring Rec/Old timers team and not from a recognised league. Not certain how the game was arranged or if they played other games in the UK. Played in good spirits with no real contact. At the time, the Devils would only have had 3 imports with the rest of the team made up of Brits.
Played a semi (semi/semi/semi!!!) pro team from Canada in a Challenge Game. Devils winning heavily at end of the the Second Period.
Thing I remember most our DJ (Crazy Phil?!) instructed the famous block 13 to support the Old Timers during the 3rd period and be anti-Devils.
Lots of Challenge games in the WNIR in those days as (and this is not meant as a crticism) as Johnny Lawless knew he could make good money from extra games with a Cardiff public desperate to see the sport and team still in its infancy. I remember a Czech team coming over (Telsa Puderbice or something like that!!!!) and games against Bracknell when they were newly formed.
