This is the 15th article in the series that looks at some of the forgotten players from your favourite club.
The Parramatta Eels entered the competition in 1947 and have had over 800 players don the blue and gold since day one.
My first rugby league memory is watching the Eels at the flint hard Cumberland Oval dust bowl with my father sometime in the very early ’60s. I can’t remember much of the game other than the fact that Ken Thornett was playing that day, so it was probably 1962.
