John Archibald Crawford (20 November 1910 — 10 January 1973) was a Scottish international rugby union player.[1]
Crawford was born in Kensington and attended Pembroke College, Cambridge. He played his early rugby with Cheltenham, as well as for Cambridge University, but didn't gain a blue.[2]
A Royal Engineers lieutenant, Crawford made his name as a strong running wing three-quarter for the Army during the early 1930s, notably scoring four of their five tries in a 1933 match against the Navy.[3] His solitary Scotland cap came the following year against Ireland at Murrayfield and he contributed a try in the 16–9 win. He also played for London Scottish.[4]
