Marcus Nicholls
Mark Nicholls, born Marcus Frederick Nicholls (13 July 1901 – 10 June 1972) was a New Zealand Rugby Union player and All Black as well as a Wellington and North Island Selector. A member of the legendary 1924/5 All Black Invincibles, Mark was best known as a first five eighth (or fly-half) though he actually played many games, including Tests, at either second five eighth or centre. Hugely influential in his day, he has largely become forgotten in modern times although George Nepia and Bert Cooke, two of his better-remembered contemporaries, acknowledged the significance of his role in assisting their success.〔George Nepia & Terry McLean, ''I George Nepia'', Wellington, Reed, 1963, p.62〕〔Max Smith, ''Champion Blokes'', Christchurch, Whitcombe and Tombs, 1965, p.24〕
