Roger Norman Creed (born 19 November 1945) is an English former rugby union international.[1]

Raised in Solihull, Creed attended Solihull School and played rugby for Silhillians.[2]

Creed played as a number eight with Moseley early in his career but struggled to establish himself in that position, before gaining regular selection at Coventry as a flanker.[2] It was from Coventry that he earned an England call up in 1971 for the Presidents Overseas XV match at Twickenham, for which caps were awarded.[2] This was to celebrate 100 years of the Rugby Football Union and remained his only England cap. He later moved north and captained Sale.[3]
