Sir Hugh Corbet Vincent (27 April 1862 – 22 February 1931)[1][2] was a Wales rugby union, association football player and politician.
A solicitor by profession, Vincent also ran for parliament and was Mayor of Bangor, and in 1924 was knighted for political and public services.
He graduated to Trinity College, Dublin and after obtaining his degree, moved to Caernarfon where he became articled to solicitor Charles Jones.
In 1910 he stood for the political seat of Caernarfon against Liberal politician, and then Chancellor of the Exchequer,[3] David Lloyd George, but did not win the election.
This was not an unusual occurrence for the time, and Wales turned to Trinity College, Dublin to supply a stand-in from the university's rugby team.
