John Taylor

John Denis Taylor (18 February 1923 — 14 March 1991) was an English first-class cricketer.

Taylor was born at Ipswich in February 1923. He did not play for Hampshire in 1946, due to him not being demobilised in time from his wartime military service. Taylor was able to play for Hampshire the following season, making his debut in first-class cricket during the Bournemouth Cricket Week, making two appearances against Lancashire and Yorkshire. He did not play for Hampshire in 1948, but made two further appearances in 1949 against Nottinghamshire in the County Championship at Southampton, and the Combined Services at Portsmouth. In his four first-class matches, he scored 76 runs at an average of 15.20, with a highest score of 27 not out. Taylor died at Southampton in March 1991.
