Roy Ivan Harford (born 30 May 1936) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played in three Test matches against India during the 1967–68 season.
[2] Born in London, Harford was a wicket-keeper who played club cricket for Mitcham in Surrey before emigrating to New Zealand in 1961.
[3] He represented Bay of Plenty in the Hawke Cup in 1962–63 and 1963–64[4] before moving to Auckland, where he was selected to play Plunket Shield cricket for Auckland in 1965–66.
[5] Although he was a competent keeper, who played 13 of his 25 first-class matches for the national team,[5] Harford's left-handed batting was so unproductive that, unusually for a wicket-keeper at any level of the game, he usually batted at number 11.
He made his top first-class score of 23 for Auckland against Otago in January 1967 when, batting at number 10, he added 75 for the ninth wicket with Bob Cunis after Auckland had been 165 for 8.
