Jack Ogden was a sheet metal worker, raised in the Woodhouse/Blenheim area of Leeds. He had trials for Oldham, Halifax and Leeds before he joined Featherstone from All Souls Leeds in September 1944, towards the end of World War two. At that stage of his career, he was known as a three-quarter. In a struggling team, Ogden’s perseverance won him a regular place, although he managed just six tries in 65 games as a back. In 1950, he switched to the pack with notable success, first as a second-rower and latterly at prop. He was unlucky to miss out on selection for the Wembley team of 1952, despite being in the travelling squad and playing 27 games that year. Injuries restricted his first team football from the following season, and he now found himself in competition with his younger brother Maurice for a place. The brothers played together a number of times in the 1952/53 season. In 1954/5 he was awarded a well-deserved benefit year after ten years’ service, which raised £218.
