James Brown Meunier (1885 – 30 September 1957) was an English cricketer and footballer who played first-class cricket in two matches for Warwickshire in 1920 and association football for several clubs in the Football League.[2]

Sporting career

[edit]

Meunier played football for a number of Football League and non-League clubs in the period before the First World War and appeared in Minor Counties cricket for Lincolnshire in 1914.[1][2][4][5][6] After the war, he played twice for Warwickshire as a right-handed lower-order batsman and right-arm fast bowler, but he was given little opportunity to bowl in either match and his batting was not successful.[2] He later played for Plymouth Cricket Club.[7]

Personal life

Meunier served as a corporal in the Royal Garrison Artillery during the First World War.[8]
