Alfred Fanning

Alfred Henry Netherwood Fanning (31 March 1890 — 11 March 1963) was a New Zealand international rugby union player.

Born and raised in Christchurch, Fanning received his education at Marist Brothers' School, versed in the game on the school's stony ground. He was the younger brother of All Black Bernard Fanning.

Fanning, a lock, was a foundation member of the Marist club and also competed with Linwood, while turning out for Canterbury in representative rugby. His only All Blacks call up came in 1913 when he came into the side for the third Test against Australia at Lancaster Park, scoring their only try in a 5–16 loss.
