- Wilfred Wooller was educated at Rydal School and Cambridge University. He was one of the greatest all round sportsmen that Wales ever produced. He captained Glamorgan CCC for 14 years, was secretary for thirty and club president for his final six. He won 18 international rugby union caps for Wales and also represented Cardiff City at soccer (scoring a hat-trick as a centre-forward). He was a Cambridge Blue in 1935 and 1936. He survived incarceration by the Japanese in the Changri prisoner of war camp during the second world war. He was appointed captain-secretary of Glamorgan CCC in 1947 and led them to an unexpected County championship triumph in 1948. He retired as captain in 1960 (reappearing in 1962) and as secretary in 1977. He was a successful BBC broadcaster and a sports journalist with "The Sunday Telegraph". As a formidable all rounder and captain, he was twice thwarted in playing test cricket for England in 1948/1949 and 1951/1952, due to business commitments. He served as a test selector from 1955 to 1961.
