"
Outlines - Ken Rollin ''The first round of a
Yorkshire Cup competition is a testing occasion indeed on which to make a senior début, but such was Ken Rollin's introduction to
Trinity's first team, against
Leeds at
Headingley on 27 August 1955. The opposition
scrum-half was international
Jeff Stevenson - but Ken's display was a most satisfactory one and there was a try for him too as some reward. He went on to make twenty-four appearances in that season and has been a regular member ever since, mostly at scrum-half. Ken is one of many players who began their career in the Wakefield Schools R.L. He was a member of the Technical School teams and Wakefield City Boys' team. He joined our own Trinity Juniors side from which he was signed, at seventeen, by Trinity in April 1955. Although he was named as a reserve for the
1957 World Cup party, and has several times been named as
Yorkshire County reserve
half-back, he still awaits his first representative match. He was named in Yorkshire's side, alongside
Keith Holliday, in 1957, but illness prevented the appearance of this Trinity partnership. In recent times he has occupied the
stand-off half berth and has proved himself to be equally at home in that position. His
utility value is therefore a great one and, at still only twenty-two years of age, he has much promise for Trinity's fortunes in the future. He has, behind him, the experience of 151 games for Trinity, including appearances at
Wembley, in the last
N.R.L Final, and in the 1956 and 1958
Yorkshire Cup Finals.''" ==Outside of Rugby League==
