Ian King (5 May 1923 â 9 September 2002) was an English international rugby union player.
Born in Leyburn, King started playing with Harrogate after the war and became a regular selection for Yorkshire, as a fullback or centre. His primary position was fullback and it was in that role he gained three England caps in 1954, debuting in a win over Wales at Twickenham. In his second match, a loss to the All Blacks, King spent a period off the field injured, but retained his place for their next fixture against Ireland, kicking a penalty and conversion in an England win.
