This is a good shout for Torquay and the whole picture as he definitely pre-dates Ivor Broadis. Dudley was born Camelford 29 August 1921. His only League appearances were for Torquay and although he was registered for Northampton and Birmingham he never actually played for either of them in a first team game.kernow19":102o6yzh said:Not an Argyle player, but Boscastle boy Dudley Kernick, born in 1921 and still going strong, played for Birmingham City, Exeter, Torquay and others during his career.

Younger than Gordon Astall when the two played together in the 1956 Cup Final. John was born in 1933 so will be 84 in December this year.Knarf Reprah":1zemtc9a said:Johnny Newman?

He was still alive a few years later when I asked someone. Can't remember whom.
I know it's a long shot, he'd be 102 now, but....does anyone know?

Thought his name was Marcus but couldn't remember his surname for the life of me.
Thanks to the power of PASOTI (and the huge assistance from Kernow 19) the co-ordinators will be in touch with Dudley Kernick very soon. They tell me that whilst he is likely to be the oldest, he will be in the top 7. There is an Argyle link as Kernick played with Ellis Stuttard at Torquay.kernow19":3w1widgs said:memory man":3w1widgs said:This is a good shout for Torquay and the whole picture as he definitely pre-dates Ivor Broadis.

I believe he lives in USA now and although not in the best of health, is still pretty sharp. Even has his own Facebook page. :thumbs:
If you can get hold of a copy on ebay, his autobiography "Who The Hell Was Dudley Kernick?" is a damn good football read.

George Haigh (Stockport) appears to be 101

Of course technically Stockport no longer a league club...but they were then so it would seem churlish to complain

Remember this well. He ran the length of the pitch down the Lyndhyrst side to a fsntastic cheer. No mean feat at 89 back then. I think we had a legends day and loads of ex players were on the pitch. Ad argyledad states s bit of Argyle History. God bless him. Rest easy Pilgrim
