Pat Smeaton (12 November 1857 - 11 August 1928) was a Scotland international rugby union player. [1]
Smeaton played for Edinburgh Academicals. [2] He was club captain for the 1881-82 season. [3]
Although favouring playing in the back line, Smeaton was noted for his versality. In noting a match between the Academicals and Royal HSFP it was observed: [4]
P. W. Smeaton, who was a sort of handy man, sometimes in, sometimes out of the forward division, stole away from a throw-out and 'galloped' over the line for the Edinburgh Academical winning score in the 'School' match. Smeaton had a style of progression peculiarly his own. It was more a gallop than a run.
He played for Edinburgh District in their inter-city match against Glasgow District on 4 December 1880. He started the match playing at Three quarters. [5]
Smeaton played for East of Scotland District in their match against West of Scotland District on 5 February 1881. [6]
