Harold Meadows Locke (20 January 1898 – 23 March 1960) was an English international rugby union player.
Born in Birkenhead, Locke was a hard running centre, who picked up rugby during his time at Birkenhead School.[1]
Locke formed a successful three-quarter partnership with Wilfrid Lowry in matches for Birkenhead Park and Cheshire. He was a member of England's 1923 and 1924 grand slam-winning Five Nations campaigns. His Cheshire career included a memorable try against the touring "Invincible" All Blacks in the 1924–25 season.[2] He won the last of his 12 England caps in 1927, after which he relocated to the West Country and played for Bristol.[3]
