Alan Burwell (birth registered first ¼ 1943[1]) is an English former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s and 1970s. He played at representative level for Great Britain, and at club level for the Hull Kingston Rovers and the Canterbury Bulldogs, as a {{rlp|wg|ce|so}} or {{rlp|sh}}, i.e. number 2 or 5, 3 or 4, 6, or 7.[2]

Background

Alan Burwell's birth was registered in Hull district, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Playing career

Alan was one of Hull Kingston Rovers outstanding British three-quarters of the 1960s. He joined the “Robins” from local Amateur Rugby League in 1961 and went on to make 229 full appearances, plus 4 substitute appearances, scoring 106 tries, 2-conversions, for 322-points. He scored Hull Kingston Rovers' only try (playing {{rlp|so}}), a fine long-distance solo effort, in their 1964 Wembley Cup Final defeat by Widnes.

Alan's first international honours were playing for Great Britain Under-24s against France Under-24s at Bayonne in 1966, and he made his Test début as a substitute against Australia in the 1967 Ashes series. In addition he went on to play in seven further full internationals for Great Britain, including those on the 1968 World Cup tour which qualified him as a Lion. Pen pictures of this Hull Kingston Rovers favourite always gave his profession as a Chemist.

Alan Burwell played {{rlp|sh}}, and scored a try in Hull Kingston Rovers' 25–12 victory over Featherstone Rovers in the 1966 Yorkshire County Cup Final during the 1966–67 season at Headingley Rugby Stadium, Leeds on Saturday 15 October 1966, played {{rlp|lw}}, i.e. number 5, and scored a try in the 8–7 victory over Hull F.C. in the 1967 Yorkshire County Cup Final during the 1967–68 season at Headingley Rugby Stadium, Leeds on Saturday 14 October 1967, and played right-{{rlp|ce}}, i.e. number 3, in Hull Kingston Rovers' 11-15 defeat by Leeds in the 1975 Yorkshire County Cup Final during the 1975–76 season at Headingley Rugby Stadium, Leeds on Saturday 15 November 1975.
