Myles Boddington

Myles Alan Boddington (30 November 1924 – 14 February 2002) was an English first-class cricketer, noted racehorse breeder and president of the English Golf Union.

The son of the first-class cricketer Robert Boddington and his wife Constance Mary Cornall, he was born at Hale, Cheshire. He was educated at Rugby School, where he played cricket for the school cricket team and was regarded as a "a fast bowler of height and hostility". Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring in the Royal Air Force first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 23 runs by Peter Jackson. Despite interest in this match surrounding his bowling, he was only able to bowl three overs before pulling up injured. He later moved to Burford in Oxfordshire, where he owned a farm on which he bred pigs and race horses. He was an amateur golfer of some repute. He held several administrative positions, including as president of the English Golf Union. He owned several racehorses that took part in National Hunt racing. He died at Burford in February 2002.
