Who was Jim Sullivan?

Jim Sullivan was a Welsh rugby league footballer and coach. Born in Cardiff, Sullivan joined Wigan in June 1921 after starting his career as a rugby union player. A fullback and prodigious goal kicker, he scored 4,883 points in a career that spanned 25 years with Wigan, and still holds several records with the club today.

He made a combined total of 60 appearances at representative level with England, Wales, Great Britain and Other Nationalities, and his 26 appearances with Wales was still a record for many years after his death. He also represented Wales in British baseball.
