Horace Scott celebrated his 98th birthday this week by getting his tickets to watch Bradford Bulls at Odsal next season.
The former factory worker from Hightown, Liversedge - believed to be the club's oldest season ticket holder - first watched Bradford Northern at Birch Lane 87 years ago.
Horace was also present among the 102,569 at Odsal for the 1954 Challenge Cup final replay, and still goes to Challenge Cup finals - wherever the venue.
"I liked Murrayfield in 2000, but I didn't like Twickenham last year," admitted Horace, who has twice survived cancer and has had only one kidney for 30 years.
He never played rugby league in England, but made a few appearances while he was in Italy.
Horace received his tickets from the Bulls' new signing Shontayne Hape, who is his junior by 77 years.
