Fullback

Most football games include a position called fullback or full back.

Rugby (union and league)

In rugby, both union and league codes, teams usually play with a single full back. In addition to being the last line of defence against running attacks by the opposing three-quarter backs, the full back is frequently the specialist goal-kicker in a team, taking the majority of penalty and conversion kicks.
