I flagged up the original Bertie Denyer....here some time ago.
http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=4609.msg71277#msg71277Also on my list of top ten players....
Bertie was a a character alright...rather than running a pub after finishing Bert ran a pub whilst playing....The Running Horse on Wootton Bassett Road, unfortunately, illegal betting activity led to a loss of licence, and so a job as barman at the High Street Club.
This Bert played a handful of games after the War, and was son of the legendary Bertie.
The original Bertie got my nod for Hall of Fame for a fine display of wingcraft when we won 2-0 at Old Trafford in 1930.
