Wagstaff, Harold

▪ English rugby player
born May 9, 1891, Underbank, Yorkshire, Eng.
died 1939?, Eng.

      English rugby player who was a member of the noted Huddersfield team of 1914–15.

      Wagstaff, nicknamed the “Prince of Centres,” made his debut at the age of 15 and is considered to have been the youngest player to appear on a professional team. Under his captaincy, Huddersfield won four major trophies—the Yorkshire Cup, the Yorkshire League championship, the Rugby League (RL) championship, and the RL Challenge Cup—in one season (1914–15). He toured Australia as captain of the British team in 1914 and 1920.
