Norman Pugh was part of the first golden era of Wales Rugby League and helped us win three European Championships in a row. He was on the winning side with Wales eight times of nine. He played rugby union for Swansea and won county honours with Glamorgan before turning professional with Oldham in 1934, playing for the club for 14 years making 363 appearances, scoring 39 tries and kicking one goal. A benefit match was played for him in 1947 between Oldham and an “International and County Xlll”, selected by Jim Sullivan. After his retirement at the end of the 1947-48 season, he maintained a keen interest in the club, helping to form the ex-players association.
