Lieutenant-General Edward Archibald Foord (30 May 1825 – 28 February 1899) was a British Army officer and English first-class cricketer.
Foord was born in British India at Madras in May 1825. He was commissioned into the Royal Engineers as an ensign in December 1842, having been a cadet of the East India Company. He was promoted to the rank of captain in April 1858, with promotion to the rank of lieutenant-colonel coming in September 1863. He returned to England around 1871, making a single appearance in first-class cricket in that year for W. G. Grace's personal XI against Kent at Maidstone.[1] Batting once in the match, Foord was dismissed without scoring by George Bennett.[2] In June 1872, he was promoted to the rank of colonel, with promotion to the rank of major-general coming just over six years later in December 1878. Three days later he was made a lieutenant-general, at which point he retired from active service. Foord died at Bursledon in February 1899.
