Arnold Alcock (18 August 1882 – 7 November 1973) was an English international rugby union player.[1]
Known as "Doc", Alcock was born in Wolstanton, Staffordshire, and played rugby for Guy's Hospital RFC during his medical studies. His England debut, as a forward against the touring Springboks in 1906, came through fortuitous circumstances. Due to a clerical error, England's original choice Lancelot Slocock had failed to receive an invitation, with Alcock selected instead. An underwhelming performance ensured this would be Alcock's only cap.[2]
Alcock was senior surgeon at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and on his retirement in 1953 became High sheriff of Gloucester.[3] He served 45 years as president of Gloucester RFC between 1924 and 1969.[4]
