Arthur Rotherham (27 May 1869 – 3 March 1946)[1] was an English rugby union scrum-half who was a member of the first official British Isles tour and was later capped for the England team.
Compounding the confusion is the fact that they had similar backgrounds and playing careers and as Alan's ended so Arthur's began.
Rotherham first came to note as a rugby player when he represented Cambridge University, winning two sporting Blues in the Varsity matches of 1890 and 1891.
[3] In 1891 Rotherham was selected to join Bill Maclagan's British Isles team on their tour of South Africa.
Still representing Richmond at club level, Rotherham was selected for the encounter with Scotland in the 1898 Home Nations Championship, which ended in a 3–3 draw.
