About Edward Wolfe

Edward Wolfe was a rugby union player.

Edward John Wolfe (4 August 1858 — 15 February 1933) was an Irish priest and international rugby union player.

The son of an archdeacon, Wolfe was born in Monaghan and educated at Trinity College Dublin.

Wolfe played his rugby as a three-quarter and was capped once for Ireland, playing a match against England at Lansdowne Road in 1882. He also won an Irish Championship as a long jumper.

Ordained in 1883, Wolfe held curacies around Ulster over the next seven years, until moving to England. He was the vicar of St Thomas Church in Telford from 1903 to 1922 and in his final years was vicar at St. John's Church, Guernsey.
