Myles Alan Boddington (30 November 1924 – 14 February 2002) was an English first-class cricketer, noted racehorse breeder and president of the English Golf Union.
The son of the first-class cricketer Robert Boddington and his wife Constance Mary Cornall, he was born at Hale, Cheshire.[1] He was educated at Rugby School, where he played cricket for the school cricket team and was regarded as a "a fast bowler of height and hostility".[1] He played for the school in their centenary match in 1941 against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), marking a hundred years since the MCC played a Rugby School side captained by Thomas Hughes.[1] After leaving Rugby School, Boddington briefly served in the Royal Air Force, during which he played for the Royal Air Force cricket team in a first-class cricket match against Worcestershire at Worcester in 1946.[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring in the Royal Air Force first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 23 runs by Peter Jackson.[3] Despite interest in this match surrounding his bowling, he was only able to bowl three overs before pulling up injured.[1]
Three years later, he married Joan Dorothy Johnson, with the couple having three children.[4] He later moved to Burford in Oxfordshire, where he owned a farm on which he bred pigs and race horses.[4] He was an amateur golfer of some repute. He held several administrative positions, including as president of the English Golf Union.[4] He owned several racehorses that took part in National Hunt racing.[4] He died at Burford in February 2002.
