bigdave Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 The local media in Workington report that Taffy died at the age of 85, so that would make his birth year 1935 Ex-Workington Comets star Taffy Owen dies | Times and Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
