Alan Henry Morgan Rees (17 February 1938 – 17 March 2022) was a Welsh rugby union and professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s. He played representative level rugby union (RU) for Wales, and at club level for Maesteg RFC, as a fly-half. He played club level rugby league (RL) for Leeds.[1] He also played county cricket for Glamorgan from 1955 to 1971.[2]
Background
Alan Rees was born in Neath, Glamorgan, Wales.
International honours
Alan Rees won three caps for Wales (RU) in 1962 against England, Scotland and France.[3]
Cricket career
Rees also played cricket for Glamorgan, making 216 first-class appearances between 1955 and 1968.[4] A fine fielder, he appeared as a substitute in the Third Test Match against Australia at Headingley, taking the catch that dismissed Peter Burge off the bowling of Fred Trueman.[5] This appearance makes him one of the few players to have played on both the rugby and cricket grounds at Headingley.[1] In the match against Middlesex at Lord's in 1965, he became only the second player ever to be given out as "handled the ball" in the County Championship.[6] In 1970 and 1971, he reappeared in Gillette Cup and John Player league matches.
Later life
After his playing career ended, Rees worked as a sports development officer for Afan Borough Council.[7] He died at Morriston Hospital in 2022, aged 84.[8]
