Richmond and Auckland forward Harold Tetley played four Tests against Australia, captaining New Zealand to a famous win over its trans-Tasman rival in 1937. He later coached the Kiwis.
The former Ponsonby and Auckland B rugby union player switched codes with Richmond in 1934 and broke into the Auckland team the following season, representing the province against Australia. He was subsequently called up at lock for the Test series opener when West Coast's John Anderson was ruled out.
After debuting in the 22-14 win, Tetley missed the second Test but was recalled for the 31-8 loss in the decider. He scored a try in Auckland's tour-closing defeat to the Australians.
Tetley turned out for Auckland against the 1936 English tourists but was not called upon by the New Zealand selectors. He returned for both matches of the 1937 series against Australia, however, and captained his country to a 16-15 triumph in front of 25,000 supporters at Carlaw Park in the second Test.
The 30-year-old went on the Kiwis' 1938 tour of Australia; no Tests were scheduled but he played against strong NSW and Queensland combinations.
Tetley coached the Kiwis' 1955-56 tour of Britain and France, which garnered 2-1 Test series defeats against both nations.
