  Known as the original 'Wonder Winger', Harold Horder was one of South Sydney's first legendary players. Horder played a significant role in the Club's Premiership success in 1914 and 1918, cementing himself as both a try-scorer and a handy goal-kicker. He led the competition in tries (19) in 1914 and points (89 and 87 respectively) in both seasons. So great was his try-scoring prowess, in 1917 he became the first South Sydney player to score five tries in a match and did so twice in the same season - both times again North Sydney - in Round 5 and Round 12 that year. There have been a number of South Sydney players to have scored five tries in a match, but none have ever managed to do so more than once, solidifying Horder's place as one of the best wingers in Club and Rugby League history. When it comes to Wonder Wingers, Harold Horder just might be the best of the lot. Source: www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2019/01/10/the-wonder-winger-ha...

  I have done some research but could not find anything about Gerald Taylor except perhaps that he could be a boxer. Any help?
