His St.George games are listed under Games on his profile but don't appear in his summary as the 1936 Night Football Comp is not being picked up on the Summary page for some reason it's something that needs to be looked at.

Ted, He did play with St.George in 2 pre-season games in 1936 but injured his knee and didn't play again, he did not play with Canterbury and I have now fixed this.

So all should now be good.

Nelson 'Bill' Hardy

Like some others, when you see Nelson on the birthday list, he comes up as having played with Canterbury & St.George whereas it appears he only played with Easts. Something wrong, somewhere.

Thanks Max, Tony McCarron had his DOD as 22/11 but as you say unlikely if that was in the Telegraph on the same day. I have just left his year of death as 1999 and put a note saying he died in November 1999.

This is the article that was published the Daily Telegraph on 22 November 1999:

Quote from: The Daily Telegraph, 22/11/99DUAL premiership winner and Canterbury life member Roy McCarter has died in Newcastle aged 85.

Only 160cm tall, McCarter's tackling made the halfback feared even by the biggest props when he joined Canterbury from Souths, Newcastle in 1936.

His funeral is at St Augustus Church, Merewether, today.

It seems unlikely to me that Roy would've died on 22 November and his funeral held on the same day, so I'd guess he probably died a few days or weeks earlier, but I don't know which specific date that was...
