Player: | AH Dyson |
 
The right-handed batsman and occasional wicket-keeper had moved from his native Yorkshire to South Wales during the mid 1920`s after having failed to secure a place on the county`s staff. He subsequently qualified for the Welsh county and made his Glamorgan debut in 1926. He soon won a regular place in the side, and developed into one of the most reliable opening batsmen on the county circuit, passing a thousand runs in every season from 1931 until 1947, with the exception of 1936 when he fell 65 runs short of the target after a loss of form in July. 
He took a well-earned Benefit in 1939, followed by a Testimonial in the Championship winning season of 1948, during which Dyson made his final appearance for his adopted county. After the Second World War, Dyson coached at Oundle School.
