Leslie William Dodds (2 February 1903[1] – 1975) was an English international bridge player and, by profession, an import-export merchant, from London.
In his youth he was a chess player, and famous for feats of memory and mental calculations.
Dodds' first partner in post-World War II top events was Eddie Raynes, who became, by royal warrant, shoe-maker to the Queen.
Then he partnered Kenneth Konstam: together they formed one of the finest partnerships in British bridge.
Dodds also represented Britain in the first Bermuda Bowl (1950), and the European Championships of 1952, 1953 and 1955; won the Gold Cup in 1938, 1949, 1956, 1960 and 1961 and the Master Pairs in 1955.
