About Bob Deans

  • Robert George Deans (19 February 1884 – 30 September 1908) was a 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.
  • Deans was 24 years old when he died as a result of complications arising from an appendix operation.
