Norman Guest
Norman Guest (c. 1919-21 – c. 2010) was a professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. He played at representative level for Yorkshire, and at club level for Castleford, Featherstone Rovers (two spells as a World War II guest), Batley (World War II guest), Barrow and Doncaster,[1] as a fullback, or centre.[2][3] Playing careerCounty honoursNorman Guest won a cap for Yorkshire while at Castleford, he played at centre in the 13-22 defeat by Lancashire at Warrington's stadium on Wednesday 5 October 1949.[4] County League appearancesNorman Guest played in Castleford's victory in the Yorkshire League during the 1938–39 season.[4] Notable tour matchesNorman Guest played in Castleford's 3-17 defeat by New Zealand during the 1947–48 season at Wheldon Road, Castleford on Wednesday 8 October 1947. Club careerNorman Guest made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 2 December 1939,[5] 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. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points. Genealogical informationNorman Guest was the father of the rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s and 1970s for Castleford and Doncaster;[6] Ian Guest. References
