Jimmy
HoskingJimmy Hosking was one of the great 'Pirate' characters, a plumber
by trade and hooker who played for the us from 1946-47 until the early 1960s. 'Capped'
five times by Cornwall, in April, 1960, he became the first player to reach the
500 games mark for the club. Off the field Jimmy 'Ock', as he was referred
to, enjoyed being involved with organising various social activites, and he liked
especially to perform an ambassadorial role by swapping pin badges with visiting
officials and supporters. If you look in the clubhouse on the far end wall
of the 'Mavis Lawry Lounge', you will see a framed display of many of the badges
that he collected over the years. A Vice President of the club, Jimmy passed
away in 1994, aged 68 years. |
