Bill Hannah

Bill Hannah was the link between the Whitby Dunlop Hockey Club and Dunlop Tire Limited. He established a working relationship whereby the Hockey Club was accepted as a division of the tire company and this relationship generated a high level of public acceptance, especially during the 1958 overseas trip where the team visited many European countries, including Scotland where the inflatable tire was developed by John Dunlop. Each Dunlop company throughout Europe boasted about the Dunlops being “our team”.
