William Oldham (rugby union)

William Leonard Oldham (15 June 1887 – 27 April 1965) was an English international rugby union player.

He subsequently joined Coventry seconds and was still as teenager when he debuted for the firsts in the 1902–03 season.

[2] Oldham became Coventry's first international when he was capped for England against Scotland at Inverleith in the 1908 Home Nations.

Later that year, Oldham toured Australasia with an Anglo-Welsh team (retrospectively considered a British Lions tour) and featured in the opening Test match against the All Blacks at Dunedin.

[2] After being a workhouse master in Coventry, Oldham relocated to Hornchurch, Essex, where he was worked as the superintendent of a children's home.
