Adrian Martin Underwood (19 July 1940 - 9 June 2017) was an English rugby union international.[1]
Underwood, the son of a farm labourer, was born and raised in Worcestershire, attending the King Charles I School in Kidderminster for his secondary education. He played his rugby union as a three quarter and was capped five times for England, primarily as a winger.[2] While a Northampton player, he appeared in all of England's 1962 Five Nations Championship matches, then gained a further cap in 1964 after crossing to Exeter. He retired at the age of 23 due to injury and post rugby was a long serving physical education lecturer at St Luke's College Exeter.[3]
