Ronald Charles Hannaford is an English educator and former rugby union international who represented England in the 1971 Five Nations.[1]
Hannaford attended The Crypt School in Gloucester and then studied at Durham University, where one of his contemporaries on the university team was future England international Peter Dixon.[2][3]
He came close to being dismissed from university after an academically disastrous second year, but was saved by the intervention of Zoologist David Barker.[4] After graduating from Durham with a 2:1 he continued his education at Churchill College, Cambridge, and represented Cambridge University R.U.F.C.[4][5] Hannaford taught Biology at Sherborne School (1968–1970), and later at Clifton College and Millfield.[6][4] He moved to New Zealand in 1975, but eventually returned to England where he worked at Rendcomb College (1983–1988) and then at Seaford College as headmaster.[7][8] By 1997 he was reportedly retired in France.[4]
