Entry about John Flynn (rugby league)

Hi, I found the article about John Flynn (rugby league) (who played for Broughton Rangers before the first world war) on wikipedia and it seems that you are the user who created the article. I would be interested to know if you have any more information regarding his career since he is my great, great uncle. The england cap the wikipedia entry mentions is in the posession of my mother. I hope you can provide some more information about his career since we don't know much. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anyamdg (talk • contribs) 06:14, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Anyamdg, unfortunately I have very little information about your great-great uncle. However, I've just added a little more detail to the John Flynn (rugby league) article. As he was in the England team against New Zealand on 11 January 1908, it is "likely" he was in the Broughton Rangers team against New Zealand on 19 October 1907. He didn't make the Great Britain team, as this consisted of 7-English, 5-Welsh (including his club teammate George Ruddick), and 1-Scottish (his club teammate Andrew Hogg) footballer. As Broughton Rangers won all but one of their six honours between 1896 and 1911, it is "likley" he will have contibuted to at least some of these, the Challenge Cup wins of 1901–02, and 1910–11, are likley to be the easiest to research. I shall look though my reference books, and see if I can find anymore information. Do you have any information regarding, e.g. full name, year of birth or death, position played, other clubs played for, etc. as any clue would help. Best Regards.
