Gary Nolan (rugby league)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gary Nolan was a rugby league player for Hull who enjoyed fleeting success as the scorer of the decisive try in the 1991 Premiership final win over Widnes.

Nolan, who had been an amateur with Hull Dockers just six weeks previously, made his mark in the Old Trafford game after entering as a 48th-minute substitute. He claimed the clinching try in the 14-4 win with just 10 minutes remaining when he stretched out an arm through a tangle of bodies. It was only his fourth first-team appearance and he enjoyed only a short career. He is now the manager of a food processing plant in Hull.
