Alan Rhodes is a professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s, and 1970s, playing at club level for Bradford Northern, Huddersfield, Featherstone Rovers (Heritage № 482), and York, as a centre, prop, or second-row, i.e. number 3 or 4, 8 or 10, or, 11 or 12, during the era of contested scrums.
Playing career
Alan Rhodes made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 2 March 1968,[1] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.
