One of New Zealand's most prominent players of the post-WWI period and most prolific pointscorers of all time, Auckland fullback Craddock Dufty's tenure in the national side spanned 12 seasons and 12 Test matches.
Thames-born Dufty started out in senior football with Newtown Rangers in 1919. The 19-year-old made his Auckland debut that year and was called into the New Zealand team, playing all four Tests at fullback against the brilliant Australian tourists.
Dufty kicked five goal and a field on debut - a 44-21 loss in Wellington - before kicking a goal in New Zealand's sole win, 26-10 in the second Test in Christchurch, and scoring a try in the third Test defeat in Auckland.
Overlooked for New Zealand selection in the early-1920s, Dufty toured Australia with New Zealand Mฤori in 1922 - scoring 36 points in eight games - and was recalled for the Test series against England in 1924. The 24-year-old kicked two goals as New Zealand wrapped up the series 13-11 in the second Test in Wellington and another three in a dead-rubber loss in Dunedin.
Dufty scored a try and kicked 26 goals in 10 appearances on New Zealand's 1925 tour of Australia (no Tests were played), while he top-scored with 94 points (two tries, 44 goals) on the troubled tour of Britain in 1926-27. Among 19 outings, he played on the wing in the second Test against England and slotted four goals from fullback in the third.
Back with Newton in 1927 after five seasons with Grafton Athletic, Dufty kicked a goal in each of the three Tests in a 2-1 series loss to England at home in 1928. After joining Ellerslie, his Kiwis swansong was the 1930 tour of Australia (again no Tests were scheduled), where he racked up a try and 29 goals in 12 games.
Dufty, who later turned out for City Rovers, was the first player to score over 200 points in all matches for New Zealand and remained the nation's top overall pointscorer until overtaken by Des White in the 1950s.
