  • Augustus "Gus" John Ferdinand Risman (21 March 1911 – 17 October 1994) was a Welsh professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s through to the 1950s, and coached in the 1940s through to the 1970s. A devastating three-quarter who also played at fullback, and stand-off, Risman was born in Cardiff, brought up in Barry where he went to Barry County School, and played rugby union in South Wales as a schoolboy before being offered a trial by Salford. He made his début for Salford on 31 August 1929 and went on to enjoy great success with the club. He won 17 caps for Great Britain and finished his career at Workington Town, remarkably leading them to Rugby League Challenge Cup glory as player-coach at the age of 41 in 1952. He retired as a player in 1954 after a career spanning 25 years. Risman captained the 1946 Great Britain Lions tour of Australia's "Indomitable"s side. Risman later coached Whitehaven, Oldham and Bradford Northern, and was inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 1988. Gus Risman's son, Bev Risman also became an accomplished rugby league footballer. As a tribute, one of the newly created streets in Workington's regenerated town centre is named Risman Place. (en)
  • Augustus John Ferdinand Risman dit Gus Risman, né le 21 mars 1911 à Cardiff (Pays de Galles) et mort le 17 octobre 1994 à Whitehaven (Angleterre), est un joueur de rugby à XIII international gallois et britannique évoluant au poste d'arrière, de centre et de demi d'ouverture dans les années 1920, 1930, 1940 et 1950. Après une formation au rugby à XV, il opte pour le rugby à XIII à dix-sept ans en s'engageant à Salford. Il y remporte le Championnat d'Angleterre en 1933, 1937 et 1939 et la Challenge Cup en 1938. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il rejoint Workington et y remporte le Championnat d'Angleterre en 1951 et la Challenge Cup en 1952. Parallèlement, il intègre la sélection du Pays de Galles et prend une part active aux titres de Coupe d'Europe des nations en 1936, 1937 et 1938. Il est également un titulaire de la sélection de la Grande-Bretagne et a même obtenu une sélection avec l'Angleterre. Il est celui qui a établi un record de 4 053 points marqués en match officiel et est décrit dans les années 1980 par un journaliste treiziste, comme « le plus connu, le plus célèbre, le plus complet des attaquants gallois (ouvreur ou centre) ». Il a deux enfants, est devenu international britannique et anglais de rugby à XIII et de rugby à XV dans les années 1960, et est devenu international gallois de rugby à XIII dans les années 1970 et est devenu président de la fédération galloise de rugby à XIII.
