Sad news this morning
Former Hull KR and England winger Ged Dunn has died at the age of 74.
Dunn, who joined the Robins from Redcar RUFC in 1971, scored 160 tries in 296 appearances, putting him in fifth place in the club’s all-time list, and in 1974-75 wrote his name in history with a club-record 42 tries in 45 matches.
Dunn played for England in the 1975 World Cup against Australia, France and New Zealand.
After hanging up his boots, Dunn served as Rovers A team coach in the early 1980s before becoming assistant to Roger Millward in 1986 and continued to work with Millward until both men left the club at the end of the 1990-91 season.
For 33 years until his retirement in 2005, Dunn was a PE teacher at Bransholme High School.
Hull KR chief executive Paul Lakin said: “We have lost not only a great rugby league player but a fine man too.
“He remained a popular figure around the club and we were always pleased to see him supporting us at home and on the road.
“Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and his friends. Rest in peace Ged.”
