Edward Fuller attended Merchant Taylors School where he featured in the first XV rugby team – although he was more noted for his prowess as a cricketer where he took on the role of captain.

He continued to play rugby for his school’s old boys club, Old Merchant Taylors’, and was captain of the team from 1910-11 and 1911-12.

He was never selected to play for England but received a call up for the Lions on the 1910 Tour to Argentina.

Fuller started the match against Argentina in Buenos Aires – the first international match played by the hosts – as the British team emerged victorious 28-3.

He later joined the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War, eventually becoming a major.
