Sidney Nelson Crowther

Sidney Crowther (1875–1914) was an English rugby union international who represented Great Britain on the 1904 tour to Australia and New Zealand.

[1] Sidney Crowther was born in the early part of 1875 in Keston, Kent and grew up at Holly Lodge.

Sidney attended Warwick School, and was the first Old Warwickian to gain international honours for Great Britain, when he later went on a tour to Australia and New Zealand.

Whilst in London he also played for Lennox FC, then a club that had some measure of prominence having won the inaugural Surrey Cup in 1891.

[6] He did not live long enough to become superintendent because, having enlisted as a motor cyclist dispatch rider, he was killed in action during the First World War near Armentières on 18 October 1914.
