Was Nat Bentham the only Wigan Highfield player to represent Great Britain?

Nat is my great uncle and what a great uncle he was I loved visiting with his wife Betty.

As best as I can tell, Nat(han) Bentham was born in 1900, his father also a Wiganer was a coal hewer. In 1911 they lived in Warrington Road, very close to Alexandra Park. He had a very successful Rugby League career. Nat died in 1970.
