Anthony William Allin (born 20 April 1954) is a former English first-class and List A cricketer who played for Glamorgan and Devon.
Allin played all his first-class matches for Glamorgan in 1976.[1] He played List A cricket for Glamorgan, Devon and the Minor Counties.[2] His best innings figures were 8 for 63 in Glamorgan's victory over Sussex.[3] Two weeks later he took his best match figures, 6 for 133 and 5 for 59 against Middlesex, but this time Glamorgan lost.[4]
After one outstanding season for Glamorgan in 1976 he decided professional cricket was not for him, and returned to the family dairy farm in Devon.[5] He continued to play for Devon, playing 43 matches for them in the Minor Counties Cricket Championship.[6] He is the father of the Warwickshire cricketer Tom Allin.
After many years as a dairy farmer, Allin successfully converted his farm near Bideford to worm-farming.[7]
