John Guy (English cricketer)

John Bernard Guy (16 May 1916 – 7 February 1997) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Oxford University, Kent and Warwickshire in nine matches before and after the Second World War.[1] He was born in Ramsgate in Kent in 1916 and died at Bournville in Birmingham in 1997 aged 80.

Guy played as a right-handed middle-order batsman and appeared in six matches for Oxford University, where he studied at Brasenose College,[1] in 1938 and 1939 without cementing a place in the first team or winning a Blue.[2] His best innings was 45 runs against Glamorgan in 1938, but in 15 other first-class innings he did not reach 20.[1] He played a single match for Kent in 1938 and re-appeared in first-class cricket in two games for Warwickshire in 1950;[2] at this stage, he was a schoolmaster at King Edward's School, Birmingham.[3]
