Roger
PascoeBorn in Penzance and educated at Lescudjack C.S.
School, Roger excelled in sport and he captained the rugby, cricket and soccer
teams. He later played for our Mounts Bay Colts side from
where he gained promotion straight into the first team, making his debut back
in 1961 for the ‘Etceteras’. His shrewd rugby
brain, aligned to cat-like hands plus excellent running and kicking skills, enabled
him to perform consistently well and bewilder some of the very best. A
member of our successful CRFU ‘7s’ winning team in 1964, ‘Paco’
later won six Cornish caps and had the prestigious honour of captaining the Pirates
both in 1966/67 and 1971/72. |
