Hugh Pochin Dinwiddy, OBE (16 October 1912 – 31 October 2009) was an English first-class cricketer, who played for Kent County Cricket Club and Cambridge University Cricket Club between 1933 and 1935.[1] He was the last man alive to play first class cricket against both Jack Hobbs (whilst playing for Kent) and Donald Bradman (representing Cambridge University).
Dinwiddy also won his Blues for rugby and played for Harlequins, being trialed for England in 1936.
In 1956, Dinwiddy moved to Uganda, where he was involved in the establishment of Makerere University in Kampala, and later served as the Dean of the College. He returned to England in 1970, and was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1971 New Year Honours for his work in Uganda.[2]
