Randolph Littleton Aston (6 September 1869 – 3 November 1930)[1] was an English rugby union centre who played club rugby for Blackheath and Cambridge University and was a member of the first official British Isles tour in 1891.
Aston was born in 1869 in South Kensington, London, to John Astbury Aston, an Anglican clergyman.[2] Aston was educated at a succession of notable schools including Cheltenham, Westminster and Berkhamstead, but finally and mainly at Tonbridge, before being admitted to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge in 1888. He graduated in 1891 and from 1891 to 1892 was an Assistant Master at Blairlodge School in Polmont, Scotland, then at Tonbridge School from 1892 to 1923.[2]
