Playing career

International honours

John Dalgreen won his only cap for Great Britain while at Fulham RLFC in the 1982 Ashes series against Australia.[2] During the first half of the game at Wigan's Central Park, Dalgreen was tackled by fiery Kangaroos forward Les Boyd. While on the ground he lashed out with his boot at Boyd, kicking him in the shins. Boyd retaliated by kicking the Lions hooker and was sent off by French referee Julian Rascagneres. Dalgreen escaped sanction for the incident as the focus was put on Boyd's send-off.
