About Robert George (Bob) Deans
Robert George Deans (19 February 1884, Christchurch, New Zealand – 30 September 1908) was a former New Zealand and Canterbury rugby union footballer. Deans entered into New Zealand rugby folklore for a disallowed try against Wales in 1905, when he claimed to score a try that would have drawn New Zealand level but was pulled back over the line before the referee could catch up.
It was the only match that New Zealand lost in the 35 match tour. Tragically, Deans was only 24 when he died as a result of complications arising from an appendix operation.
