List of English cricket and football players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

C. B. Fry represented England at both cricket and football, and also held the world record for the long jump.

This is a list of sportspeople who have played both first-class cricket and top level football in England. The list includes thirteen sportspeople who are dual internationals, having represented England's national team at both sports.

Footballers who have not competed at a professional level in the Football League are only eligible for inclusion if they have represented the England national football team.
