John David Frederick Larter (born 24 April 1940, Inverness, Scotland)[1] is a former Scottish cricketer, who played in ten Tests for England from 1962 to 1965.
The cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted, "David Larter was a complex character. There were days at Northampton when he just would not fancy bowling. But when the mood took him and his 6ft 7in physique was in perfect working order, he was a frighteningly good fast bowler, as a career record of 666 wickets at 19 apiece suggests".[1]
