David Fisher (4 July 1871 – 1 October 1932) was a Scotland international rugby union player.[1] His regular playing position was Forward.
Fisher played rugby union for West of Scotland.[2]
Fisher was named as a reserve for Glasgow District for their match against North of Scotland District on 15 December 1888.[3]
Fisher was picked for Glasgow District for their match against North of Scotland District on 13 December 1890.[4]
Fisher played for Glasgow District in their inter-city match against Edinburgh District in 1892, the Glasgow Herald noting him as 'D. Fisher junior'.[5]
Fisher was capped once by Scotland, in 1893.[6]
Fisher's ability split opinion on those who thought he was a notable forward and those who didn't. One Scottish Referee newspaper commentator rated all of the Glasgow District forwards and out of the 9 forwards tipped for selection for the time Fisher was among the best and good with his feet.[7] Another Scottish Referee commentator said of Fisher's selection to the international team that he 'was a good way outside of the ability which should be in a Scotland team.'[8]
Fisher was also in the West of Scotland Harriers.[9]
