An English forward, Thomas Whittaker went to Rugby School before studying at Trinity College, Cambridge.
In 1891 he was selected as part of the Lions team to tour South Africa, and he played 17 matches in all, including all three Tests.
Whittaker scored a try in the 4-0 victory over South Africa in the first Test – his only Test try.
He never played internationally for England, and worked as a barrister after returning from South Africa.
