High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Herbert Henry "Dally" Messenger was an Australian rugby union and rugby league footballer, recognised as one of the latter game's greatest ever players. Messenger, or 'The Master' as he was dubbed, represented his country in both rugby football codes, playing two rugby union tests and seven rugby league tests. He was also offered contracts by English soccer clubs, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, but refused them on the principle that soccer was decadent. Messenger had a stocky build, and while standing only about 172 cm in height, he was a powerful runner of the ball and solid defender. According to his peers the centre's greatest attributes were his unpredictability and astonishing physical co-ordination, coupled with a freakish ability to kick goals from almost any part of the ground. He was a teetotaller and non-smoker during his career and other than breakfast, Messenger would rarely eat before a match.
