Arthur Briggs (30 November 1867 – 18 August 1943[3]) also known by the nickname of "Spafty", was an English rugby union footballer who played in the 1890s. He played at representative level for England, and at club level for Bradford F.C.,[4] as a half-back, e.g. scrum-half, or fly-half, i.e. number 9, or 10.[1] Prior to Tuesday 27 August 1895, Bradford F.C. was a rugby union club, and since 1907 it has been the association football (soccer) club Bradford Park Avenue.

Background

Arthur Briggs was born in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, and he died aged 75 in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire.[1]

Playing career

International honours

Arthur Briggs won caps for England while at Bradford F.C. in the 1892 Home Nations Championship against Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.[1]

Change of Code

When Bradford F.C. converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code on Tuesday 27 August 1895, Arthur Briggs would have been approximately 27. Consequently, he may have been both a rugby union and rugby league footballer for Bradford F.C.
