Club blazer donated for 2026 exhibition
The ORL Heritage Trust have recently received a 1970s club blazer from the family of Brian Churm which has been kindly donated for inclusion in the 150th anniversary exhibition in 2026.
Brian was a leading amateur player with the Royton club and part of the team that won the Standard Cup three years running in 1957-58-59. In 1959 Brian won the ‘Ben Powell Trophy’ as man-of-the-match in the final. He then went on to coach the Oldham A and B teams in the 1970s.
The blazer has come to the Trust from Brian’s family via Dave (Crazy Horse) Whittaker.
The exhibition will be at “Gallery Oldham” running from January 10th to March 7th 2026.
