Bill Horton won caps for England while at Wakefield Trinity in 1928 against Wales, in 1929 against Other Nationalities, in 1932 against Wales, in 1933 against Australia, in 1936 against Wales,[3] and won caps for Great Britain while at Wakefield Trinity in 1928 against Australia (3 matches), New Zealand (3 matches), in 1929-30 against Australia, in 1932 against Australia (3 matches), New Zealand, and in 1933 against Australia (3 matches).[4]
County honoursedit
Bill Horton won cap(s) for Yorkshire while at Wakefield Trinity.
Bill Horton made his début for Wakefield Trinity during August 1924, he played his last match for Wakefield Trinity during the 1937–38 season, and he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.
