Arthur Smith (rugby player)

Arthur Robert Smith (23 January 1933 - 3 February 1975) was a wing of extraordinary ability and brains. He captained both Scotland and the British Lions.

After a first class in mathematics he gained a PhD at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University. He represented Cambridge in four Varsity Matches from 1954 to 1957 inclusive. He won 33 caps for Scotland and was never dropped. He was twice a British Lion, both times in South Africa (1955 and 1962). Smith did not play in any of the internationals against Nrut|South Africa in 1955 but he captained the touring party in 1962 and played in the first three internationals before being forced to miss the final match through injury.
