Francis George Mann, CBE, DSO, MC (6 September 1917 – 8 August 2001) was an English cricketer, who played for Cambridge University, Middlesex and England.
[6] He was also a member of the Eton College Contingent of the Officer Training Corps, and reached the rank of cadet under-officer.
[10] Having reached the age limit, he resigned his commission on 6 September 1967 and was permitted to retain his honorary rank.
Wisden said of Mann: "as a captain he was ideal, zealous to a degree, and considerate in all things at all times".
[5] He was therefore chairman during the controversy over the rebel tour which Geoff Boycott and Graham Gooch led to South Africa in 1982.
[4] Mann's son, Simon, was sentenced for thirty-four years in Equatorial Guinea in 2008, on charges related to an attempted coup in 2004, but was pardoned on 2 November 2009.
