- Steve Nash (rugby league)
Steve Nash is an English former rugby league footballer of the 1970s and 80s. A scrum-half, he played for the Featherstone Rovers and Salford clubs and also represented England and Great Britain.
In 1971, while playing for Featherstone, Nash played his first match for the Great Britain Lions. The following year he played in the 1972 World Cup final against Australia which was drawn 10-all, enabling Great Britain to claim the Cup. Nash then helped Featherstone to victory in the 1973 Challenge Cup final, winning the Lance Todd Trophy for his man-of-the-match performance. He later moved to Salford, continuing to represent Great Britain and narrowly missing out on a second World Cup victory in the 1977 Final which was lost to Australia 12-13. Nash won 24 Great Britain caps altogether and also played 7 games for the England team.
