The third instalment of the series listing Hunslet playersโ heritage numbers continues with men who made their debuts for the club between 1886 and 1891.
Five of the players listed this month (Jack Rathmell, Edward Kaye, Bill Townsend, Albert Goldthorpe and Walter Goldthorpe), enjoyed careers which straddled the Rugby Union and – following the celebrated `breakawayโ of August 1895 – the Northern Union eras.
Guardian of the List Martin Stewart has identified those menโs records in the Northern Union as:
| Name | Played | Tries | Goals | Points |
| Jack Rathmell | 18 | 1 | 3 | |
| Edward Kaye | 96 | 6 | 18 | |
| Bill Townsend | 7 | 2 | 6 | |
| Albert Goldthorpe | 466 | 46 | 692 | 1552 |
| Walter Goldthorpe | 409 | 67 | 116 | 443 |
