Kel Coslett was a Welsh RU International full back, signed for the Saints back in 1961 and stayed with the club until 1976.
Coslett was a brilliant goalkicker, converting 1639 goals and scoring 45 tries for the club.
Coslett was tough tackling rawboned youngster, and though 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 the Saints.
Coslett went on to coach Wigan and Rochdale and is still involved at the club 44 years after first signing.
