Quentin Eric Moffitt Ayres King (8 July 1895 – 30 October 1954) was an English international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Bedford, King was capped once for England, after Edward Myers was a last minutes withdrawal from the 1921 Calcutta Cup match against Scotland at Inverleith. The team didn't have a travelling reserve and called upon King due to his close proximity to the venue. He played wing three-quarter in a 18–0 win for England.[2]
King, a major, was an Army rugby player and heavyweight boxing champion.[3]
