Arthur Joseph Gould
Arthur Joseph Gould (born Oct. 10, 1864, Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales—died Jan. 2, 1919) was a Welsh rugby player who between 1885 and 1897 won 27 caps for Wales and was captain of their first Triple Crown-winning team in 1893.
Gould was one of five rugby-playing brothers, three of whom played for Wales. Gould began his international career at full-back but made his reputation as a strong, decisive centre. He served as captain of the Wales team for a record-setting 18 times.
