Arthur Harper Daniels (4 September 1922 – 4 October 2001), born in Pontyberem, was a rugby league footballer. In 1945, he was one of three Welshmen, all from the Llanelli area, who had trials with the Halifax rugby league club. A winger, he made a relatively slow start to his rugby league career, which was interrupted with a period in the armed forces. Following a big improvement in his form in 1948–49, he was by 1949 an important part of the Halifax side. In 1950, he toured Australasia with the Great Britain squad, but injury forced him to return home early before the first test. He made 13 appearances for Wales, scoring nine tries. He was Halifax captain for the 1952/53 season. However, injuries would curtail his season. A splintered ankle bone sustained in the second test against the touring Australian's at Swinton kept him out of the third. A broken arm in a home match against Huddersfield on Christmas Day 1952 ended his season. His domestic career also included two Challenge Cup final appearances at Wembley. The first was in 1954 when Halifax drew with Warrington, the tie was settled in the famous Odsal replay where he had a try disallowed in a defeat for Halifax. His next Wembley appearance came in 1956 against St. Helens where once again, Halifax were the losing side. ==International honours== Daniels won 13 caps for Wales in 1949–1953 while at Halifax, and won 3 caps for Great Britain in 1952–1955 while at Halifax. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Daniels」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
