David Frederick Skea (February 1871 – c. 1950) was a Scottish footballer.
He began his career with his hometown club, Arbroath, before joining Aston Villa, where he made just one appearance in the English Football League.[1] [4] After a spell back in Scotland with Dundee Thistle, he moved to Darwen, where again he was restricted to a single Football League game[1] before a move to Bury of the Lancashire League.[1]
In 1894 he joined Leicester Fosse, where he spent two seasons as a regular in the team, making 45 League appearances and scoring 28 goals.[1] In the 1894–95 season, he was the top scorer in the Football League Second Division.[5]
After leaving Filbert Street, he played for Swindon Town and New Brompton of the Southern League.[1]
