Dr. Cecil Anderson Boyd MC (5 July 1875 – 27 February 1942) was an Irish rugby union player, and medical doctor.
Boyd played international rugby for Ireland and in 1896 was chosen to represent a British Isles XV in their tour of South Africa.
Sir Walter's striking personality is vividly conveyed in The Old Munster Circuit, the well-known memoir by Maurice Healy.
Cecil's mother was a sister of Sir Robert Anderson, Assistant Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police.
While representing Dublin University, Boyd was approached to join Johnny Hammond's British Isles rugby tour of South Africa in 1896.
Boyd played in 12 matches of the tour,[4] and was chosen to face South Africa in the First Test, which the British Isles team won 8–0.
