Maurice Tompkin (17 February 1919 – 27 September 1956) was an English sportsman who played first-class cricket with Leicestershire and professional football for Bury, Leicester City, Huddersfield Town and Kettering Town. He was born in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire.
He played as a middle-order batsman for Leicestershire from 1938 to 1956, scoring over 1000 runs a season from 1946 to 1955. After his most productive season, 1955, when he scored 2190 runs, he was selected to tour Pakistan with the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1955–56. However, he suffered ill-health when he returned, and died in hospital from pancreatic cancer after an operation.[1] His highest score was 186 for Leicestershire against the touring Pakistan team in 1954.
