William (Bill) Edger from Morpeth, was a longstanding supporter of Tynedale Rugby Club.
Bill was for many years one of a group of pals who acted as gatekeepers at Tynedale Park, controlling admittance to home matches in a firm but friendly manner.

Along with John Cousin, he, Walter Rutherford, Tom Stainthorpe, 'George' Watson and John Drew together formed a stalwart team for many years.

After retiring as a gateman Bill continued to support the club, and retained an interest in the Club’s activities until his death.
