Billy Trew

[3] Much like legendary Welsh rugby captain Arthur Gould before him, Billy Trew was part of a sporting family.

He played for Swansea against the All Blacks in 1905 and captained the team in wins against the touring Australia (1908) and South Africa (1912) national sides.

[4] The Welsh Rugby Union finally gave Trew his international debut at the age of twenty in January 1900.

During his captaincy the national team only lost four matches and saw Wales collecting the Triple Crown on three occasions.

Trew Jr also captained Swansea during the 1929/30 season before moving to England to play for Swinton.
