Allan Agar

Allan Agar is a British former rugby league footballer and coach. Allan Agar is also the father of Richard Agar.

A scrum-half, he played in the 1972-73 Northern Rugby Football League season's championship final for Dewsbury, helping them to victory.

Agar's good form continued over the following decade and he played in the Hull Kingston Rovers team that beat Hull FC in the Challenge Cup final in 1980.

Agar captain-coached Featherstone Rovers to one of the biggest upsets in Wembley history that year, when they defeated Hull in the 1983 Challenge Cup final. He then went on to win the Man of Steel Award in 1983.

He later coached Rochdale from July 1989 until January 1991. Since then Agar was appointed CEO of the Featherstone Rovers.
