George Bennet

George Henry Bennett (8 July 1913 — 31 August 1970) was a Welsh rugby union and professional rugby league footballer of the 1930s, playing at representative level rugby league (RL) for Wales, and at club level for Wigan and Bradford Northern as a Centre, Stand-off/Five-eighth, or Scrum-half/Halfback, i.e. number 3 or 4, 6, or 7.
Rugby union career
Born in Newport, Wales, Bennett started his career as a rugby union player, joining Weston-super-Mare in 1929. He left Wales due to the racism of the Welsh Rugby Union preventing him from playing for the national team, and signed for rugby league side Wigan in November 1930.
