Biography
MacIvor was born in the British Antilles on 12 February 1891.[1]
He was an engineering student at Trinity College, Dublin and club captain of Dublin University.[2][3]
A winger, MacIvor was described as a "plucky" player who had a "good turn of speed".[3]
MacIvor appeared in all four Tests for Ireland in the 1912 Five Nations Championship.[4] In Ireland's final fixture, against Wales in Belfast, MacIvor scored a try to help secure a win, which was enough to leave the Irish as joint Five Nations champions with England.[5] He played three further Tests in the 1913 Five Nations Championship.[4]
Death
During a practice match at College Park on 17 October 1913, MacIvor received a blow to his head and had to retire hurt ten minutes later.[2] He took a tram back to his home on Upper Pembroke Street where he became ill and was advised by a doctor to go to hospital.[2][3] An operation was performed the following morning on 18 October to relieve pressure on his brain but he died two hours later.[3][6] The coroner determined that he died from compression of the brain, as a result of an accidental fall at the football match.[3]
