About Arthur Atkinson Rugby League
- Arthur "Artie" Atkinson (5 April 1906 – 1963), also known by the nickname of 'Bruss', was an English professional rugby league footballer who played, mostly as a centre, from 1925 to 1940.
- He competed at representative level for Great Britain, England and Yorkshire, and at club level for Castleford.
- He was captain of his club for some time. Some believe Atkinson holds the world record for a goal kick in any form of rugby because he kicked a penalty from 75 yards (69 m) in the 20-10 victory over St.
- Helens at their Knowsley Road ground on 26 October 1929.
- However, England and Cumberland forward Martin Hodgson kicked a penalty goal 77.75 yards (71.09 m) for Swinton against Rochdale Hornets at the Athletic Grounds, Rochdale on 13 April 1940.
