Billy Langton was a stalwart of teams from the mid-fifties up to the 1965 Cup Final. In the 1959 season he set a record by playing in and scoring in every game. He is still Hunslet's top ever points scorer.

I remember most his catching of the ball over the touch line (legal in those days) whilst balancing on one leg.
