David Paul Fry (born 5 January 1960)[1] is an English former professional football goalkeeper. Born in Bournemouth, he began his career at Weymouth as an amateur[1] and in January 1977 signed for Crystal Palace.[1] Fry was initially understudy to firstly, John Burridge and then Paul Barron but in the second half of the 1982–83 season, became first-choice goalkeeper after Barron left the club.[2] In July 1983, however, he was transferred to Gillingham[1] and later went on to play for Torquay United.[3]
After that, he moved into non-league football, playing for Cheltenham Town, Fisher Athletic and Yeovil Town in the Football Conference. In April 1991, he scored with a wind assisted drop kick for Yeovil in a 7–2 win in a league game against Slough Town.
