KEY POINTS:
Arthur Milton, who has died aged 79, was the last man to play both football and cricket for England as a full international.
Only 12 people have achieved this distinction: Alfred Lyttelton, Billy Gunn, Leslie Gay, Reginald "Tip" Foster (who captained England at both games), Charles (C.B.) Fry, Jack Sharp, Harry Makepeace, Andy Ducat, Wally Hardinge, John Arnold, Willie Watson and Milton.
While Milton might be deemed a shade fortunate to have represented his country once at football, he was perhaps unlucky to have been selected for only six test matches.
After all, he scored 30,235 runs for Gloucestershire, more than any other batsman save Walter Hammond (33,664).
Milton made his Test debut in 1958, against New Zealand at Headingley.
He scored 104 not out, and, with New Zealand being twice shot out for a low total, became the first England player to be on the field throughout an entire Test match.
