They married and George?s grandsons Bert and Bill also played.Bert Holcroft has been a distinguished servant for the game of Rugby all his life. He holdscoaching certifi cates from BOTH the Australian and British governing bodies - one of only ahandful of men to achieve such an honour in the game?s history.For 20-odd years Bert Holcroft has had one of the unlikeliest jobs in sport - teaching AustralianRugby Coaches how to coach!Considering the Australian dominance of World Rugby in recent years, that might seem a parwith taking coal to Newcastle.But make no mistake, Bert Holcroft has done as much as anyone to ensure Australia?s reemergenceas a major Rugby power.On the face of it, Australia wouldn?t seem to need any outside help, let alone from a Pom. Theirrecord of only one Test defeat since 1978 speaks for itself. But Bert?s reputation is nation-wide'down under' - quite simply he?s one of the best in the business.Bert, who played for Leigh between 1950-60, has spent much of his latter years Down Underlecturing to top-grade coaches in New South Wales.Born and bred in Cameron Street, Leigh, Bert has few peers when it comes to teaching thebasics of the 13 a side game. Since emigrating in the late 60?s, Bert has dedicated his life tocoaching and fi tness techniques.

Bert?s credentials are impeccable.Last summer, he achieved the highest accolade in Australia - his Grade Three certifi catepersonally signed by the then Australian league chairman Kevin Humphreys and the Directorof Coaching, Peter Corcoran. Three years earlier, Bert has sailed through his Grade One andTwo with fl ying colours. In 1953, he was awarded his senior coaching certifi cate in England.Bert, who held a number of posts at Hilton Park before emigrating to Australia, has spent alot of his time heavily involved with Rugby in the universities there. He became director ofcoaching for the University of New South Wales and later coach of the Combined Universitiesside.Coaching Accreditation awarded by the Australian Institute of Sport, Department of Sport andRecreation NSW and the NSW Rugby League for administration, as well as being awardedNational Coaching Certifi cates in both Britain and Australia - one of only a handful of peopleto do so.Eventually the offer of a job in Sydney came - to coach Premiership glamorous club, EasternSuburbs.BERT HOLCROFT
