James Meunier

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 teams in the Football League.[1] He was born at Poynton, Stockport and died at Loughborough, Leicestershire.

Meunier had played football for both Coventry City and Lincoln City in the period before the First World War, and appeared in Minor Counties cricket for Lincolnshire in 1914.[1] 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.[1]

At the end of the 1920s, he was taking a lot of wickets in good-class club cricket for Plymouth Cricket Club.[2]
