Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Fleming was born at Broxburn in April 1964. He was educated at the Linlithgow Academy. A club cricketer for West Lothian Cricket Club,[1] he made his debut for Scotland as a wicket-keeper in a first-class match against Ireland at Glasgow in 1986.[2] He later played four List A one-day matches in 1988, making three appearances in the Benson & Hedges Cup and one appearance in the NatWest Trophy against Glamorgan.[3] In these he scored four runs and took two catches.[4] Following a successful club season in 2000, he pushed for a return to the Scottish side following a twelve years absence, but he was ultimately not recalled.[5] A corner of West Lothian's home ground, Boghall, was affectionately known as "Davie's Corner", so-called due to Fleming's reputation for scoring heavily in that particular corner of the ground.[1] Outside of cricket, Fleming worked as a salesman for a Broxburn meat company.[1]
