Cec "Dicky" Fifield (1903-1957)〔(Cec Fifield ) at rugbyleagueproject.org〕 (born Cecil Richard Henry Fifield in Adelong, New South Wales) was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 20th century. ==Club career== Fifield was born to Sara Ann (née Compton) and George Fifield in Adelong on 23 September 1904. He played for West Wyalong as a teenager in Group 9. From there he was recruited to the Western Suburbs Magpies, playing the 1923, 1925-26,1929 and 1936 seasons. He played over 100 first grade games with the Magpies. He was selected to play for the New South Wales rugby league team in 1925 and 1929, then was selected to play on the 1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain. The team sailed on the ''Orsova'' via the Panama Canal and played an exhibition game in New York before arriving in England. The first Test was played at Hull, Yorkshire. The second Test at Wembley and the third Test at Swinton in which there was a big controversy over a try. After much deliberation it was decided to play a fourth Test at Rochdale. This was the first and only time that a fourth test has been played on any Kangaroo tour. In this match Cec broke his ankle and was unable to play the remainder of the tour. On returning to Australia in 1930 he played for and captained the Balmain Tigers. It was in 1931 that Cec returned to play football for Hull, Boulevard. Owing to the difference in seasons, he played there until it was time to depart England and returned to Australia and play for Junee. Cec continued to play for Hull, playing 224 games and scoring 80 tries, gaining England Championship honours in 1936 and in 1937 he returned to Australia. He played one season with Canterbury-Bankstown in 1937 before he then returned to Western Suburbs Magpies as captain-coach for the 1938 NSWRFL season.〔Alan Whiticker - Encyclopedia Of Rugby League Players〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cec Fifield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
