Arthur Milton - Mike Vockins

Arthur Milton was surely the last of that rare breed - a man good enough to play both cricket and football for England. 12 have had that rare distinction but the all-year-round nature of both sports makes it almost impossible that that feat will happen again. Milton had played 12 games for Arsenal when he was called up to face Austria in 1951. He decided to concentrate on cricket at the relatively young age of 29 in 1955. He worked on his autobiography with Mike Vockins, but sadly passed away midway through the project - leaving behind many fans and many broken records.
