David Myers

Who was David Myers?

David Myers was an English rugby league footballer of the 1980s and '90s, playing at representative level for Great Britain in non-Test matches on the 1992 tour of Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand, and at club level for Widnes, Warrington, Wigan, Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, Wakefield Trinity, Bradford Bulls, Western Suburbs Magpies, and Salford City Reds, as a Wing, i.e. number 2 or 5.

During the 1991–92 Rugby Football League season, Myers played for defending champions Wigan on the wing in their 1991 World Club Challenge victory against the visiting Penrith Panthers. He scored a match-winning try in the Challenge Cup in 1991 for Wigan against St. Helens. Following the arrival of Martin Offiah, Myers lost his first team place at Wigan, but was nevertheless selected to go on the 1992 Great Britain Lions tour of Australia and New Zealand. In October 1992, he was sold to Widnes in an exchange deal which saw Paul Atcheson join Wigan from Widnes.

He continued his success in the Challenge Cup with his new team, helping Widnes to the 1993 Challenge Cup against former team, Wigan, although he was on the losing side in that final.
