Graham Harris (fourth ¼ 1946)[1] is an English professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s. He played at club level for Featherstone Rovers, as an occasional goal-kicking hooker.
Background
[edit]Graham Harris' birth was registered in Pontefract district, West Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Playing career
[edit]Harris made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 17 December 1966,[2] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.
Challenge Cup Final appearances
[edit]Harris played hooker in Featherstone Rovers' 17-12 victory over Barrow in the 1966–67 Challenge Cup Final during the 1966–67 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 13 May 1967, in front of a crowd of 76,290.
