Thomas Mattocks Lawson (1 September 1900 – 21 October 1951) was an English international rugby union player.[1]
Lawson was a Workington and Cumberland player, capped twice for England as a wing-forward in 1928. There was some suggestion that his selection was a mistake and it was brother Richard they had intended to call up.[2]
After retiring in 1928 due to injury, Lawson became a referee for two years before making a comeback for Workington, only to sidelined again when he broke both his hands in a car accident.[3]
