David Robertson Taylor (26 October 1880 â 8 November 1941) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Comber, County Down, Taylor was the son of Reverend David Alexander Taylor, who served as a moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and attended Queen's College Belfast.
Taylor was a stalwart of the North Down Cricket Club, debuting for their first XI at age 16. He played in 10 NCU Challenge Cup title-winning sides with North Down and regularly represented Ulster.
A centre three-quarter, Taylor played varsity rugby during his time at Queen's College and was capped once for Ireland, playing a match against England at Lansdowne Road in 1903.
