Alex Givvons

Career: 1932-33/1948-49*

Player profile

Born in Newport, Alex Givvons came to Oldham from the Cross Keys union club in 1933.

A speedy, agile and enthusiastic halfback who eventually made the transition to loose forward and gained Welsh international honours. Six times he represented his country (always finishing on the winning side) and twice toured France with the British R.L. Xlll. After a spell with Huddersfield, Alex returned to Watersheddings where he ended his playing days.

He played in a total of 241 first class matches for the Roughyeds, continuing to give many more years service as a member of both the coaching and back room staff. In January 1995, sixty-two years after his arrival in Oldham, he performed the unveiling of the initial Oldham R.L. Hall of Fame.
