Alfred Cattell (27 April 1857 – 10 September 1933)[2] was an English-born international rugby union player for Wales who in his later life became Lord Mayor of Sheffield.
As a rugby player Cattell represented Oxford University[3][dubious – discuss] before joining club team Llanelli and being selected for Wales.
Cattell came to prominence as a rugby player representing first class Welsh team Llanelli.
This was the first match of the first Home Nations Championship and Cattell along with Thomas Judson and Harry Bowen became the first players to represent Llanelli in an international game.
This was the first time the countries had faced each other in a rugby union match, and Wales lost by three goals to one.
