Dennis Cunliffe Good (born 29 August 1926) is a former English cricketer who played in four first-class matches for Worcestershire and Glamorgan in the 1940s.
Good was born in Leeds and educated at Denstone College in Staffordshire, and at Sheffield University, where he studied textiles.[1] His first-class debut, and his only outing for Worcestershire, was against the Combined Services at New Road in 1946. He took the single wicket of the 19-year-old John Dewes and scored 1 and 6 with the bat. The following year he appeared thrice for Glamorgan, claiming seven more wickets (though never more than two in an innings) and managing a top score of 21 in his final game at Derby.
He did his National Service in the Royal Air Force, and played league cricket for a while in the north of England. He migrated to Canada in 1952, and set up his own textile importing business in Quebec.[1] Retired now, he lives in Ontario. As of late 2020 he is Worcestershire's oldest surviving first-class cricketer.[2]
