Profile

Vince Nestor was signed from the Tyldesley Rugby Union club during the 1954-55 season and with that acquisition the club gained not only a versatile back who was equally at home at stand-off, centre or on the wing but also a loyal clubman who gave ten years fine service to the Oldham club.

After making his senior debut at York on September 24th 1955,Vince was a consistent performer for the next decade in whatever position he was selected to play.
He played at right centre in the 1957 Lancashire Cup final victory over Wigan.
His last match in the first team was at Whitehaven on April 17th 1965 after which the club arranged a special benefit match of Oldham ‘Present’ v Oldham ‘Past’ on May 29th of that year.
