Beef Dancer
Gerald Thomas Dancer (1911-1991), known as Beef, was a prominent English rugby player of the 1930s and 1940s. He played in all 3 test matches of the 1938 British Lions tour to South Africa.
== Early career ==
Dancer was born on the 15th January 1911 in Bedford and was educated at Queen's Park School and Bedford Modern School where he showed a natural aptitude for the game.〔'100 Years of the Blues- The Bedfordshire Times Centenary History of Bedford R.U.F.C. (Bedford, 1986), p.41.〕 After leaving school he played most of his club rugby for Bedford Athletic. He had made his debut for Bedford Blues against an Old Bedford Modernian XV on Easter Monday 1928, but it was not until the 1931-32 season that he joined the club on a permanent basis. Dancer was a tough and mobile prop forward and he helped Bedford to develop in to one of the leading English club sides during the late 1930s.〔'100 Years of the Blues', p. 40.〕 Several of his team-mates gained international honours but Beef, despite playing representative rugby for the East Midlands and in various England trials, never won a full England cap. In a newspaper interview given to the ''Bedfordshire Times'' in 1983 he revealed that he had been offered contracts by Leeds RLFC and Hunslet RLFC, and given the antipathy of the RFU to the Professional code at the time it is possible that such negotiations ultimately counted against him.〔Reprinted in '100 Years of the Blues' p.41〕
