Jimmy Bell was a true son of Featherstone for his great contribution to the club over many years. A stand-off, signed from the local junior scene, he made his debut against Hull KR in September 1937. With competition for the number six shirt from Ray Hamer and Bill Hughes, he was limited to just four appearances with the first team. Although his impact as a player wasn’t enormous, Jimmy’s lasting legacy to the Rovers’ cause came in the shape of his four sons, Roy, John, Peter and Keith, all of whom made the grade at Post Office Road. He was also club groundsman for a number of years.
