William Brain

William Henry Brain (21 July 1870 – 20 November 1934) was an English first-class cricketer and footballer: a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper who played for Gloucestershire, Oxford University and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in the early 1890s; as well as keeping goal for Headington United (later Oxford United).

Playing for Gloucestershire in 1893, Brain made three stumpings from successive balls bowled by Charlie Townsend, removing Arthur Newton, George Nichols and Ted Tyler to finish off the Somerset second innings.

The second of these against Lancashire Second XI, was his last significant match; he did not keep wicket, this role being taken by his older brother Joseph.

Later, Brain was instrumental in helping Glamorgan's drive for first-class status, which they eventually achieved in 1921.

Pat made a handful of appearances for Glamorgan in the 1920s, while Michael had a single first-class outing for the same county, in 1930.
