Anthony Mervyn Jorden (28 January 1947 – 20 October 2023) was an English sportsman who played international rugby union for England and first-class cricket.
Jorden attended Monmouth School before going up to Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, where he represented the university at both rugby union and cricket.
[1] Jorden began playing cricket for the Essex Second XI in 1964 and two years later broke into their County Championship side for the first time.
[5] Just as his first-class cricket career was coming to an end in 1970, Jorden was called up to the England rugby union team, who were to play against France in Paris, as a replacement at fullback for Bob Hiller.
As England's designated kicker, Jorden slotted two conversions and a penalty, but France won the Test 35-13.
