Biography of Harold Smith



HERITAGE NO : 351
This durable and tough hooker is best remembered for his record of consecutive matches played for the Saints. He had a virtually unbroken run from his first match in August 1927 to the end of his time at the Saints in 1929. This achievement stood for 70 years until a Mr Chris Joynt rewrote the record books. Harold also played for Halifax and Bradford Northern.

In 1921 Harold was living in String Street, Bradford. He lived with his father Roden, mother Elizabeth, three sisters and one brother. He was a Spinner at the Smithfield Head Mill in Bradford. By 1939 he was living in Stone Street, Bradford and working as a Boilermaker`s Labourer in a Foundry. He died in Bradford in December 1981, aged 74.
