Barry Hollis (second ¼ 1948[1]) is an English former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s. He played at club level for the Featherstone Rovers (Heritage No. 495), and York, as an occasional goal-kicking second-row, i.e. number 11 or 12, during the era of contested scrums.

Playing career

Barry Hollis made his début for the Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 14 March 1970,[2] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.

Challenge Cup Final appearances

Barry Hollis played as an interchange/substitute, i.e. number 15, (replacing left-second-row, i.e. number 11, Alan Rhodes) in Featherstone Rovers' 33-14 victory over Bradford Northern in the 1973 Challenge Cup Final during the 1972–73 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 12 May 1973, in front of a crowd of 72,395.

County Cup Final appearances

Barry Hollis played right-second-row, i.e. number 12, (replaced by interchange/substitute, i.e. number 15, Terry Ramshaw) and scored a drop goal in York's 8-18 defeat by Bradford Northern in the 1978 Yorkshire County Cup Final during the 1978–79 season at Headingley Rugby Stadium, Leeds on Saturday 28 October 1978.[3]
