Gordon Wright (rugby league)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gordon Wright was an Australian rugby league footballer in the New South Wales Rugby League - Australia's premier competition.
Wright was a winger who played for the Eastern Suburbs club in the years (1917-23). He was the NSWRL's leading try scorer for three consecutive years - 1919, 1920 and 1921. This feat has been accomplished only twice since by Benny Wearing and Nathan Blacklock. In a match against Balmain in 1920, he scored 5 tries.
He played 66 matches during his career for a total of 65 tries and is recognised as the 96th player to represent the Eastern Suburbs club.
