Hall of Fame
The Rugby League
Hall of Fame was inaugurated in 1988 - the first
national sporting Hall of Fame to be established in the UK. Originally with
twelve incumbents, more have been irregularly added since.
This
unofficial site is dedicated to the seventeen sporting heroes in the
Hall of Fame, and the thousands of heroes who have graced The Greatest
Game since 1895.

Billy Boston MBE
Its fitting in the week the
whole game has moved to Cardiff that we honour the great
Billy Boston.
Born in the Tiger Bay area of Cardiff - Billy Boston played Rugby Union for
Cardiff Schools. His boyhood ambition was to play for Wales. Signed for
Wigan in 1953 and was immediately chosen for the Ashes
tour that same season. Amongst many notable feats in his career he twice
scored seven tries in a match - and as a points machine he was second only
to the legendary Brian Bevan in tries scored, with
over five hundred to his tally. He represented Great Britain thirty-one
times and made three World Cup appearances. |
