Years: 1964-1978

With 337 appearances and 185 tries to his name in a 14-year Saints career, Barry Oldham deserves to take his place amongst the pantheon of Northampton greats.

With only Billy Kingston and Teddy Cook ahead of him on the Club’s all-time top try-scorer’s list, it looks increasingly unlikely Oldham’s tally will ever be surpassed by a player from the modern era.

Very much the darling of Franklin’s Gardens in the early 1970’s, Oldham still holds the record (jointly, with Frank Packman) for the most tries in a single season – he crossed the whitewash an incredible 33 times in as many matches during the 1969/70 campaign.
