Arthur Burton (Шаблон:Circa – death unknown) was a professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1900s, 1910s and 1920s. He played at representative level for Yorkshire, and at club level for Lofthouse Albion ARLFC (in Lofthouse, Leeds) (two spells), Leeds (A-Team), and Wakefield Trinity (Heritage № 179), as a forward (prior to the specialist positions of; Шаблон:Rlp), during the era of contested scrums.

Playing career

Arthur Burton made his début for Wakefield Trinity during the 1909–10 season, and he played his last match for Wakefield Trinity during October 1920, 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.

County honours

Arthur Burton won cap(s) for Yorkshire while at Wakefield Trinity during the 1913–14 season.
