Giles John Toogood (born 19 November 1961 in West Bromwich) is a former English cricketer. He was educated at North Bromsgrove High School and Oxford University.[1]

He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-pace and off-break bowler who played first-class and List A cricket for Oxford University between 1982 and 1989. Later, he played minor counties cricket for Shropshire in 1991 and 1992 while playing at club level for Barnt Green,[2] and, briefly, Cambridgeshire, appearing at List A level in the NatWest Trophy for both teams.

In 1985, playing in the University Match against Cambridge University at Lord's, Toogood took 8/52 in the first innings (adding another two wickets in the second).[3] This was the best first-class innings return by an Oxford bowler for 61 years, Tom Raikes having claimed 9/38 against the Army in 1924. As of March 2009, Toogood's feat remains the only example of an Oxford player taking seven or more wickets in a first-class innings since Giles Ridley's 7/110 against Gloucestershire in 1965.[4]

He graduated in medicine and works as a surgeon in Yorkshire.[5] Married to Carolyn and has 3 daughters.
