Biography of Jack Potter
HERITAGE NO : 498 Jack Potter by Alex Service A full-back, whose address was Brown Street, Widnes, according to the Rugby League Registers, he made his one and only First Team appearance at home to Featherstone on 29th April 1939. The Saints won 37-10 and the St. Helens Reporter was quite upbeat about the lad making his debut in red and white: "Butler, naturally, was missed. Potter, from the A team, was tried out but he kicks left-footed and ponderously too but he kept the trajectory low and was inclined to have his kicks charged down. Potter did succeed in getting his backs moving and may be counted a useful and successful understudy." Whatever happened to him, we do not know. He must have duly returned to the A team following the return of Albert Butler, but the War will have had an influence too, somewhere along the line. We do know that he was a Chemical Labourer living at 10 Brown Street in Widnes in 1939. He married Ethel S O’Callaghan in the summer of 1958 and they went on to have one child. Jack died in Widnes on the 16th of March, 1999 at the age of 79. His death was registered in Knowsley. He was living at 90 Blundells Road, Widnes at the time of his death.
