Ronald Poulton Palmer

‘THE SWERVER PAR EXCELLENCE’

Considered to be the “finest three-quarter” of his generation, Ronald Palmer was a skilful centre renowned for his elusiveness and glamourous style of play. Having earned his college stripes representing Balliol College (Oxford University RFC) he went on to feature for Harlequins and Liverpool FC respectively at club level. His university record was outstanding, creating an “unequalled partnership” with Billy Green that would later bloom into an international pairing, setting a still unbroken record of scoring five tries in a single Varsity Match and forcing himself into consideration for the national fifteen.

The very mention of swerving sends one's thoughts to the late Ronald Poulton, the swerver par excellence ... swerving and Poulton are almost synonymous terms.
