Robert Fraser was a Scottish professional football defender who played for Albion Rovers and Aberdeen.[2]
Fraser joined Aberdeen in 1931, and was appointed team captain in 1934. He emigrated to South Africa in 1938, a year after visiting the country on the club's summer tour.[1][3]
At representative level, he took part in a Scottish Football Association tour of North America in the summer of 1935, but none of the fixtures was a full international.[4][5]
