I was looking through the history of Rugby League( not normally any concern to the Epsom area), and saw film of the 1953 Rugby League Cup Final  played at Wembley.

This match was won by Huddersfield, and one of the finest players that day was Huddersfield’s Pat Devery. 

Pat was Australian and played in England for some years, and his biography states that on retiring from rugby, he became a school teacher in Epsom.  He later moved to America where he spent his later years.

Does anyone have any memories of Pat Devery?  Which school(s) did he teach at?  What subjects?
