Sir William Henry Milton (3 December 1854 – 6 March 1930)[1] was the third Administrator of Mashonaland, played rugby for England and was South Africa's second Test cricket captain.
Born in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and educated at Marlborough College, Milton played rugby for England in 1874 and 1875.
He immigrated to South Africa, arriving in Cape Town in 1878.
Milton joined the Villagers club and preached the cause of rugby, and by the end of that year the football fraternity of Cape Town had all but abandoned the Winchester game in favour of rugby.
He played three other first-class games: two for Western Province and one for Cape Town Clubs.
