E Cunningham E Chisnall J Mantle G Nicholls J Warlow A Karaliaus R Mathias F Wilson
J Wash (great) J Heaton D Hull K Coslett D Eckersley L Jones G Pimblett Nicholls and Walsh my two favourites of the era.
I didn't know any of them personally. I was only a kid then, but I could name all of them.
Just as a side observation, it's interesting to see how many of them are Welsh, and I mean real Welsh, not the grandparent thing!
And seven of them are St. Helens born
And a 'proper' red v too

Remembered them all with the exception of Hull, Eckersley was the last one I got. Pretty good pack that at the time, Tony Karalius hands like shovels most of the time carried the ball in one hand.
David Eckersley was a very good player. He started off with Murph at Leigh then came to us. I dont remember him hanging around long. We got away with selling some very good young lads in that era before it caught up about 1978. Ken Kelly and Eric Prescott to name two we could have built a team around.
Spot on Jack, I had forgotten that bit.
