Contemporaneous Article Extract
"Outlines - Roy Hawksley - Signed last season, Roy is a promising young hooker who should eventually fare extremely well in the game. Indeed his present skills may well be judged by his past records. For our own Trinity juniors he did grand work before joining the senior club, whilst he had previously been a member of the highly successful Snapethorpe School side which carried all before it a few years ago in heading the Wakefield Schools’ League and winning the Yorkshire Cup. Whilst at school he also had the honour of playing for the Wakefield City team and for Yorkshire County, always as hooker. Whilst his scrum play is outstanding he is also quite active in the open. At the age of 19 he still has time to develop physically and should have a most satisfying career. Height, 5 ft. 9in., weight, 13 stones." [2]
