George Kenneth Oliver (4 March 1946 â 22 April 2009) was a Scottish international rugby union player.
Born in Galashiels, Oliver attended Galashiels Academy and excelled in middle-distance running events during his youth, before committing solely to rugby when he started playing for Gala at the age of 20.
Oliver, a loose forward, was a noted sevens player for Gala and featured in a side that won 16 successive tournaments. He toured Argentina with Scotland in 1969, but due to a calf injury didn't play against the Pumas. In 1970, Oliver returned for a tour of Australia and made five appearances, including the one-off Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
A graduate of the Edinburgh College of Art, Oliver was an architect and had a practice in Dunfermline.
