On this Day

Everyone at the Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former player and Breakfast Club stalwart Billy Adams on Friday. Billy played in the final game at Parkside and kicked the last ever goal on the famous old ground. He was Hunslet through and through and wore his Ex-Parksiders blazer with immense pride. A regular volunteer at the Breakfast Club he will be missed by many.Club President Peter Jarvis paid this tribute to Billy “I never played in the same Hunslet side as Billy, but I did play against him for Bramley in Hunslet’s very last game, before disbanding, at McLaren Field on Monday 28/4/1973. Opponents that day, we became good friends through the Ex-Parksiders Players Association.He was a regular at the annual reunions and became a member of the Association’s Committee.Billy was a team player on and off the pitch and was still working hard in the kitchen just a few weeks ago, cooking the bacon and sausage sarnies at the Breakfast Club.He will be sadly missed by everyone that knew him for his banter, sense of humour and his hard work for the communityOur thoughts are with his family. Rest in peace Billy.”#swsa #HunsletRLFC ...
