Dennis Fenwick Allison (20 April 1931 – 14 April 2009) was an English international rugby union player.
Born in Tynemouth, Northumberland, Allison was educated at Dame Allan's School and King's College, Newcastle, where he studied for a degree in metallurgy while playing club rugby for Northern.[1]
Allison, a left-footed fullback, moved to the Midlands in 1955 and signed with Coventry.[2]
From 1956 to 1958, Allison was capped seven times as a fullback by England. He appeared in all four matches of England's 1956 Five Nations campaign and contributed to the 1957 Five Nations grand slam with a first-half penalty goal in their tournament opener against Wales in Cardiff, which was the only score of a 3–0 win.[3]
Allison captained the Warwickshire side that won the 1957–58 County Championship.[4]
