J.W. Brough
England Team Member 1924 & 1925

One of the youngest men ever to play for England, James Wasdale Brough, the Silloth (Cumberland) fisherman who is a member of the Leeds team is an outstanding personality in professional rugby. He played for his Country when he was twenty; a year before this he had gained his first cap for Cumberland and he has appeared for that county regularly ever since. Brough plays at full-back or centre-threequarter and, in addition to being chosen to represent the English League, has played in Test matches in Australia and New Zealand. A splendid amateur golfer, Brough has won the Cumberland & Westmorland Championship.
