Keith Eric Gudsell (19 October 1924 – 7 July 2007) was a New Zealand rugby union footballer who played for both the country of his birth and Australia. A midfield back, Gudsell represented Manawatu, Wanganui and Waikato at a provincial level in New Zealand, and New South Wales at state level in Australia. He was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1949 tour of South Africa, appearing in six matches but no internationals.[1] Having graduated with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science from Massey Agricultural College in 1949,[2] Gudsell then studied veterinary science at the University of Sydney, graduating in 1954.[3][4] During this time he played three tests for Australia against the touring All Blacks in 1951.[3]
