Kenneth Clive Plummer (born 17 January 1947) is an English former rugby union international.[1]
Plummer, born in Falmouth, Cornwall, was a winger and started his career at Cornish club Penryn RFC. After joining Bristol, he gained his first England cap in a 1969 Five Nations match against Wales, but was immediately discarded having seen his opposite winger Maurice Richards score four tries.[2] Another opportunity didn't come until the 1976 Five Nations, where he featured in three of the matches. He was club captain of Bristol in the 1976–77 and 1977–78 seasons.[3]
