Roy Burnett (6 October 1926 – 30 July 1998)[1] was a Wales international rugby union player who also played for the Barbarians.
Burnett made 373 appearances for Newport RFC. He captained the team in the 1952–53 season and also in 1950–51 in the absence of Ken Jones.
Burnett was unlucky only to win one cap for the Wales national rugby union team primarily because he had to compete against Cliff Morgan.
Burnett turned town an offer of 3000ドル (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately 185,500ドル in 2013)[2] to change codes to rugby league and join Huddersfield.[3]
