Tony Allin
Anthony William Allin is a former English first-class and List A cricketer who played for Glamorgan and Devon.
Allin played all his first-class matches for Glamorgan in 1976. He played List A cricket for Glamorgan, Devon and the Minor Counties. His best first-class innings figures were 8 for 63 in Glamorgan's victory over Sussex. Two weeks later he took his best match figures, 6 for 133 and 5 for 59 against Middlesex, but this time Glamorgan lost.
After one outstanding season for Glamorgan in 1976, Allin decided professional cricket was not for him, and returned to the family dairy farm in Devon. He continued to play for Devon, playing 89 matches for them in the Minor Counties Cricket Championship between 1975 and 1998. He is the father of the Warwickshire cricketer Tom Allin.
After many years as a dairy farmer, Allin successfully converted his farm near Bideford to worm-farming.
