Kel Coslett was a Welsh Rugby Union international fullback before he signed for the St Helens RLFC in 1961, staying with the club until 1976.
Coslett was a brilliant goalkicker, landing 1,639 goals and scoring 45 tries for the club. He was also a tough-tackling, raw-boned youngster, and although a broken ankle cost him his blistering pace, he was still a dangerous player with the ball in hand.
Kel Coslett ended up a utility player, playing in every position from full-back to loose-forward for St Helens. After the 1972 Challenge Cup final he was awarded the Lance Todd Trophy for his man-of-the-match performance.
Coslett went on to coach Wigan and Rochdale Hornets and is still involved at the club 44 years after first signing.
