Jack Stephens

Profile

Sidney John (Jack) Stephens, came to Oldham while still only a teenager from Gloucester, having played his first Rugby with the Widden Old Boys club.

A tall, powerful centre threequarter, Jack signed on October 8th, 1929, making his first team debut in the 23 – 3 victory over Wigan at Watersheddings on October 19th. He retained his place for the rest of the season and would continue to be first choice in the left centre position for the next five years.

Three times he was the club’s top try scorer in 1931-32/ 32-33 and 33-34. His best total was the 23 touchdowns secured in 1932-33. The following season Jack turned in one of his best performances in the 1933 Lancashire Cup Final, when his second half interception try clinched the 12 – 0 victory over St Helens Recs. After this injuries were to hamper his career until his final game in a second round Challenge Cup defeat at Huddersfield on February 23rd, 1935.
