'''Alexander David King''' (born [[17 January]] [[1975]] in [[Brighton]]) is a [[rugby union]] footballer who plays at [[Rugby union positions#10. Fly-half|fly-half]] for [[ASM Clermont Auvergne]] and formerly [[London Wasps|Wasps]]. King attended [[Brighton College]] and [[Bristol University]].
He has been capped by [[England national rugby union team|England]] and the [[Barbarian F.C.|Barbarians]]. The former [[Rosslyn Park F.C.|Rosslyn Park]] player joined [[London Wasps|Wasps]] in 1996 and helped them win the [[Guinness Premiership|League]] that year. He scored a try on his England debut in [[1997]] and made his first Test appearance at Twickenham as a replacement against South Africa in [[1998]]. He kicked [[London Wasps|Wasps]] to victory in the [[2000]] [[Powergen Cup|Tetley’s Bitter Cup]] final.
He earned his most recent cap against Wales in a [[2003 Rugby Union World Cup|World Cup]] warm up match in Cardiff in August [[2003]]. However, an injury acquired during the game ultimately affected his selection prospects for the World Cup and he stayed at home. In the [[Zurich Premiership]] he had enjoyed a glittering climax to [[2003]], being 'man of the match' in the Premiership final and amassing 24 points, as [[London Wasps|Wasps]] beat [[Gloucester RFC|Gloucester]] 39-3. He finished as the leading Premiership points scorer, including play offs, with 284 points. He was a kingpin of the outstanding [[London Wasps|Wasps]] team which won the [[Zurich Premiership]] and [[Heineken Cup]] double in the season 2003-04.
