The 1971 North Sydney Bears

The North Sydney Bears have a storied history in Australian Rugby League, dating back to their founding in 1908. The 1971 season stands out as a memorable chapter. The season started with Roy Francis Coaching the club, but following his departure his fellow Welshman Merv Hicks took on the role. Hicks also a player admirably took on the role of Captain-Coach, leading alongside his compatriot Jim Mills. Mills, an exceptional forward, scored six tries across 22 matches.

Additionally, another Brit Scrum Half Graham Williams, a Manchester native, made an impact after joining the Bears from Swinton. He played only 12 times that season, but crossed for two tries and later joined Manly.

The seasons top try scorer with 8 tries was fan favorite, George Ambrum, who brought excitement to the field with his speed and skill. As a result, Ambrum earned a spot in the 1972 Australian team, scoring two remarkable tries in the Trans-Tasman series.
