In 1954 I played in goal for the Comets Rollerhockey team. Frank Burnett by this time was captain of a team called the Stars. Our captain was T.Taylor. The man in white shirt in the first photo is Stan Scott who reffereed all the games. Peter Parker I think lived on St. Nicholas road he had a younger brother named David who was my first partner in the comedy act of the Roller Revels show. Followed then by Tony Bean. Frank Burnett was a proper James Dean type black leather jacket and jeans to my young years he was my idol . We must all have had an idol some where? Thanks for the photos they bring back happy memories.

This is awesome to see. I have been playing since 1981 in the US and it's amazing to see how the sport has progressed. Thanks for posting the pictures.

When I played roller hockey in the 1950s I can remember some Americans used to play against us on the outdoor rink I think they came from one of the air bases? They were just friendly games, one of the players was called (Buck wheat) this was just a nick name. Our local teams played at the Norwich rink, Lowestoft, Kings Lynn and Hunstaton: their rink used to be right near the beach opposite what was once the open air swimming pool. It used to take hours to get there and back but win or lose it was great fun. Are there any other players out there?

Roller hockey is among the best games that I have ever played. There are 5 players present on the ground at all times. One is the keeper and the others play ahead. It is a highly complex game which has a lot of aggression in it.
