Ian James Michael Lumsden (6 April 1923 – August 2008) was a Scottish rugby union international.[1]
He represented the Scotland Probables side in 1947.[2]
Lumsden, a full-back and occasional fly half, was capped seven times in Tests for Scotland.[3] These appearances came in both the 1947 and 1949 Five Nations Championships.[4]
He also played first-class cricket with the Scottish national team and the Combined Services during the 1940s. A middle order batsman, Lumsden made 379 runs at 27.07 from his seven first-class matches. He made three half centuries, two of which, including his highest score of 66, came in a drawn match with Warwickshire at Edgbaston in 1948.[5]
