David Frederick Skea (born Arbroath, February 1871, died c. 1950 in Scotland)[4] was a Scottish association football player of the 1890s.

Football career

He began his career with his hometown club, Arbroath, before joining Aston Villa, where he made just one appearance in The Football League.[1][4] After a spell back in Scotland with Dundee Thistle, he moved to Darwen, where again he was restricted to a single Football League game[1] before a move to Bury of the Lancashire League.[1]

In 1894 he joined Leicester Fosse, where he spent two seasons as a regular in the team, making 45 League appearances and scoring 28 goals.[1] In the 1894–95 season, he was the top scorer in the Football League Second Division.[5]

After leaving Filbert Street, he played for Swindon Town and New Brompton of the Southern League.[1]
