Harry Vassall
Henry Vassall (22 October 1860 – 5 January 1926)〔(Harry Vassall international rugby profile ) Scrum.com〕 was an English rugby union player, best known as a centre for Oxford University. Vassall played international rugby for England in the early years of the sport, winning five caps and scoring a hat-trick of tries in the first encounter between England and Wales.
While at Oxford University Vassall led the university rugby side to 70 matches without defeat during his three-year captaincy. His belief that the forward players should work in unison with their backs was revolutionary to the game of rugby and changed the way that rugby was played at club and country level. He is recognised as one of the most important figures in the early development of the sport.
==Early life==
Vassall was born in Barwick in Elmet, a township in the Tadcaster district, in 1860, the son of William Vassall and his wife Martha Ann. His father was a rector originally from Great Wigston in Leicestershire, his mother a native of Leeds, who was fifteen years her husband's junior. Just after Harry (named Henry) was born, his family, including his two older siblings William and Margaret, moved to Hardington Mandeville in Somerset where his father took up the post of rector of the parish.〔Class: RG9; Piece: 1639; Folio: 40; Page: 1; GSU roll: 542844, 1861 England Census, Census Returns of England and Wales, 1861. Kew, Surrey, England: The National Archives of the UK: Public Record Office (PRO), 1861.〕 Henry's mother had been just nineteen when his eldest brother William was born in 1858, and Margaret and Henry had followed in successive years. After moving to Hardington, Henry's family continued to grow at a prodigious rate and between 1861 and 1882 Henry gained a further twelve siblings, the last of which was Leonard born in 1882 when Martha was forty-two. This was the year before Henry's father's death in 1883. Henry was educated at Marlborough College before matriculating to Hertford College, Oxford in 1879.
