'''Harry Bath''' (28 November 1924 – 4 October 2008), born '''Alfred Henry Bath''', also known by the [[nickname]] of '''"The Old Fox"''', was an Australian [[rugby league]] footballer and coach who was prominent and influential in the mid-20th century. A state and international representative who played 12 matches for [[Other Nationalities rugby league team|Other Nationalities]] in the International Championship from 1949 to 1955, he played as a {{rlp|sr}} and has been referred to as the best Australian rugby league player never to be picked for the [[Australia national rugby league team|Australian national team]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Malcolm Andrews|title=ABC of Rugby League|year=2006

==Playing career==

===Australia===
Bath, to be known late in his career as 'the Old Fox', was graded as a sixteen-year-old to play for the Brisbane club [[Souths Logan Magpies|Southern Suburbs]] in 1940. After six years with the club, including selection to represent Queensland, he moved to Sydney to play for the [[Balmain Tigers|Balmain]] club in [[New South Wales Rugby Football League season 1946]]. He represented [[Queensland Rugby League team|Queensland]] in 1945 and [[New South Wales Rugby League team|New South Wales]] in 1946 after one Sydney season. In the 1946 fixture for NSW against the touring [[Great Britain national rugby league team|Great Britain]] side he badly injured his leg and so was unavailable for [[Australian national rugby league team|Australian]] Test selection a week later. Also in his first season for Balmain, Bath helped his side reach the Grand Final in which they defeated [[St. George Dragons|St. George]] 13–12. In 1947 he again won a premiership with the [[Balmain Tigers]]. He was also selected to play for Australia against a touring England side that year but injured his leg in a club match and was prevented from playing in any of the three tests.<ref>{{cite book

===England===
Harry Bath then accepted an offer to play in Britain for [[Barrow Raiders|Barrow]]. The forward only stayed at Barrow for six months before being signed by [[Warrington Wolves|Warrington]]. He spent a total of nine seasons with Warrington, playing 346 games for the club. Harry Bath played at {{rlp|sr}} and was [[Captain (sports)|captain]] in [[Warrington Wolves|Warrington]]'s 19–0 victory over [[Widnes Vikings|Widnes]] in the [[1949–50 Challenge Cup]] Final during the [[1949–50 Northern Rugby Football League season#Challenge Cup|1949–50 season]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]], [[London]] on Saturday 6 May 1950, in front of a crowd of 94,249, played in the 4–4 draw with [[Halifax R.L.F.C.|Halifax]] in the [[1953–54 Challenge Cup]] Final during the [[1953–54 Northern Rugby Football League season#Challenge Cup|1953–54 season]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]], [[London]] on Saturday 24 April 1954, in front of a crowd of 81,841, and played at {{rlp|sr}}, and scored a [[Try (rugby)|conversion]] in the 8–4 victory over [[Halifax R.L.F.C.|Halifax]] in the [[1953–54 Challenge Cup]] Final [[Replay (sports)|replay]] during the [[1953–54 Northern Rugby Football League season#Challenge Cup|1953–54 season]] at [[Odsal Stadium]], [[Bradford]] on Wednesday 5 May 1954, in front of a record crowd of 102,575 or more.<ref name="Mud, blood and memories of the day when 102,575 made history at Odsal">{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/rugby-league/mud-blood-and-memories-of-the-day-when-102575-made-history-at-odsal-59103.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220509/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/rugby-league/mud-blood-and-memories-of-the-day-when-102575-made-history-at-odsal-59103.html |archive-date=9 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Mud, blood and memories of the day when 102,575 made history at Odsal|newspaper=independent.co.uk|date=31 December 2016|access-date=1 January 2017}}</ref> Bath's reputation as a skillful ball-player and a great goal-kicker grew while playing in Britain. He scored over 700 goals in his career, including 173 goals in 1952–53 when he was the season's leading goal kicker.

Bath played at {{rlp|sr}} in [[Warrington Wolves|Warrington]]'s 8–14 defeat by [[Wigan Warriors|Wigan]] in the [[1948–49 Lancashire Cup]] Final during the [[1948–49 Northern Rugby Football League season|1948–49 season]] at [[Station Road, Swinton]] on Saturday 13 November 1948,<ref name="1948-1949 Lancashire Cup Final">{{cite web|url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=1474|title=1948-1949 Lancashire Cup Final|publisher=wigan.rlfans.com|date=31 December 2011|access-date=1 January 2012|archive-date=15 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150415073808/http://wigan.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=1474|url-status=dead}}</ref> and played at {{rlp|sr}} in the 5–28 defeat by [[Wigan Warriors|Wigan]] in the [[1950–51 Lancashire Cup]] Final during the [[1950–51 Northern Rugby Football League season|1949–50 season]] at [[Station Road, Swinton]] on Saturday 4 November 1950.<ref name="1950-1951 Lancashire Cup Final">{{cite web|url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=432|title=1950-1951 Lancashire Cup Final|publisher=wigan.rlfans.com|date=31 December 2011|access-date=1 January 2012|archive-date=4 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004220021/http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=432|url-status=dead}}</ref> He played for the [[British Empire XIII rugby league team|British Empire XIII]] versus [[New Zealand national rugby league team|New Zealand]] on Wednesday 23 January 1952 at [[Stamford Bridge (stadium)|Stamford Bridge]].

===Return to Australia===
Bath returned to Australia in 1957 and joined [[St. George Dragons|St. George]] after his former club Balmain decided against a signing due to his age of 33. In the [[1957 NSWRFL season]] St. George were premiers, winning the Grand Final against [[Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles|Manly-Warringah]] 31–9.

He was the leading point scorer in the competition in [[NSWRFL season 1958|1958]] scoring a season club record of 225 points (3 tries, 108 goals). His 16-point tally in the Grand Final has never been equaled. In 1958 St. George again made it to the Grand Final this time defeating [[Western Suburbs Magpies|Western Suburbs]] 20–9. Bath again topped the season's point scoring table, totalling 211 points. The following season St. George again won the premiership with a 20–0 Grand Final victory over [[Manly Sea Eagles|Manly]]. Bath was sent off in the Grand Final for fighting with Manly's [[Rex Mossop]].

It has been suggested that Bath was punished by the Australian selectors for the ten years he spent in the English league. However he was 33 years old when he returned to Australia for his last three seasons and he was then competing for a representative position against star players [[Norm Provan]] and [[Rex Mossop]]. He retired at the end of 1959 at the age of 35.

==Playing records==

Bath became the only player to have won a premiership in every season of his Sydney first-grade career (1946 and 1947 with Balmain and 1957, 1958, and 1959 with St. George). His eight goals from eight attempts in the [[New South Wales Rugby League season 1957#Grand Final|1957 Grand Final]] is the standing record for the most goals in a grand final and the most points scored in a grand final (16).

He holds two places in the record of top point scorers in one season by position. His 205 points scored in 1959 are the most ever scored by a {{rlp|pr}} in a season and the 225 points of 1958 stands as the most ever scored by a {{rlp|sr}} in a season.

==Coaching career==
Bath took up a career in rugby league coaching and joined the inaugural [[New South Wales Rugby League|NSWRL]] coaching panel in 1961. He was selected manager, coach and as the sole selector for the Australian national team's 1962 [[Rugby League Ashes|Ashes]] series.

Bath's greatest achievement in coaching the national side was leading the Kangaroos to [[Rugby League World Cup|World Cup]] glory in the [[1968 Rugby League World Cup|1968]] and [[1970 Rugby League World Cup|1970]] World Cups. He also coached the team on tours of New Zealand in 1969 and 1971. He coached the national side in the [[1972 Rugby League World Cup|1972 World Cup]] in which they lost to Great Britain in controversial circumstances. The World Cup Final was tied at 10–10 after full-time and was still locked after extra time. Great Britain were awarded the victory due to a higher points table placing after the pool rounds of the competition.

Harry Bath also took the coaching helm at his former club Balmain. He guided them to Grand Final appearances in [[NSWRFL season 1964|1964]] and [[NSWRFL season 1966|1966]] both lost against St. George 6–11 and 4–23 respectively. He also coached [[Newtown Jets|Newtown]] between 1969 and 1972.

He came out of retirement to coach his other former club [[St. George Dragons]] to premiership success in [[NSWRFL season 1977|1977]]. The Grand Final against [[Parramatta Eels|Parramatta]] was drawn 9–9 but St. George won the [[Replay (sports)|replay]] 22–0. He again coached the Dragons to premiership success in [[NSWRFL season 1979|1979]] after their 17–13 Grand Final victory over Canterbury. His side was nicknamed 'Bath's Babes' due to the side's youthful roster. He retired from Rugby League coaching in 1981.

==Accolades==
