David Lindsay Fricker (29 September 1905 – 23 December 1990), known as "Lindsay Fricker", was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of David John Fricker (1874-1951),[2] and Rosetta Ann Fricker (1869-1942), née Roberts,[3] [4] David Lindsay Fricker was born at Warragul on 29 September 1905.
He married Jeanne Davis McKay at Sandringham, Victoria on 6 March 1937.[5] [6]
Recruited from the Black Rock Football Club in the Metropolitan Amateur Football Association (MAFA),[7] he was a member of the team that played against Brighton Football Club in the Sandringham Football Club's first match in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) competition on 20 April 1929.[8] Twice injured, he played in 20 of the team's 22 matches in that first season.
Cleared from Sandringham to Fitzroy in May 1930,[9] his single senior game for the Fitzroy Football Club was against Carlton, at the Brunswick Street Oval, on 26 July 1930.
Cleared from Fitzroy in April 1931,[10] he returned to Sandringham, and went on to play another 21 senior matches over four seasons (1931-1934).
In 1935 he was cleared from Sandringham to the Black Rock Football Club in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).[11]
On 27 November 1948, Fricker was involved in an accident when the car he was driving collided with a truck on the Calder Highway near Woodend, Victoria. A carpenter by trade, he lost his right arm and, three years later, was awarded £7,500 in damages.[12]
He died at Darwin, Northern Territory on 23 December 1990.[13]
