Harold Boughton
By Gary Little
It would have not been unusual to see the former England International full back playing at Kingsholm on a Saturday afternoon and then should you have popped on a bus later that day to see him once again, as he was a bus driver.
Born 7th September 1910, Harold captained Gloucester when they returned to playing matters following the end of the Second World War, although it was in the inter-war period that he first came to national recognition. Harold was awarded 3 international caps, making his debut against Wales on 19th January 1935 at Twickenham. Regarded as a reliable kicker, Harold contributed three penalty goals and a conversion for England against Ireland on his 2nd international appearance and is recorded as kicking 401 conversions for Gloucester.
