Michael Moore Walford (27 November 1915 – 16 January 2002), often known as "Micky Walford", was an all-round sportsman: a British field hockey player who competed in the 1948 Summer Olympics,[1] a first-class cricket player for Oxford University and Somerset and a rugby union centre three-quarter and stand-off half good enough to play in an international trial for the England national rugby union team.
He was a member of the British field hockey team at the 1948 summer Olympic Games, held in London.
[3] In the same fixture in the 1933/34 season Walford's defensive play was singled out in the report in The Times as a factor in the English side's victory.
[4] Walford was playing county standard rugby union before he went up to Trinity College, Oxford, in autumn 1934.
[5] At Oxford, his first sporting success in November 1934 was to be selected for the university's hockey team, where he played at centre half.
