Douglass Peter Gray McLean (22 April 1934 – 4 July 2024) was an Australian international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Southport, Queensland, McLean studied for two years at Toowoomba Grammar School and was still a teenager when he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force as a radio apprentice.[2]
McLean, a utility forward, was primarily a second rower. He played for Brisbane club Souths and in 1956 made his representative debut for Queensland. With both Dave Emanuel and Tony Miller unavailable, McLean won a place on the Wallabies squad for the 1958 tour to New Zealand, where he made four uncapped appearances.[2]
