Andrew Herbert Trousdale (7 November 1900 – 5 January 1957) was an Australian international rugby union player.[1]
Trousdale was born in Sydney and educated at North Sydney Intermediate High School.[2]
A sturdy centre, Trousdale gained selection to an inexperienced New South Wales squad for the 1923 New Zealand tour. The team was a de facto Wallabies side and have retrospectively been recognised as such. He appeared in the tour opener against Wellington-Manawatū, but spent most of the tour sidelined, and didn't feature against New Zealand.[2]
Trousdale played his club rugby for Eastern Suburbs, Mosman and North Sydney.[3]
