Henry Toft
Herbert Toft, (1909–1987) known as H B Toft, Henry Toft or Bert Toft, was a rugby union international who represented England from 1936 to 1939.〔(Herbert Toft Profile on scrum.com )〕 He also captained his country.〔 ==Early life== Hebert Toft was born on 2 October 1909 in Salford.〔 He attended Manchester Grammar School and then Manchester University,〔 returning to his school to become a teacher and later headmaster.〔 Born Herbert Toft, he was known by a number of variations on this. Although named Herbert, by the time he was at university he was known as Henry. One explanation of why he then became known as H B Toft was that when it became apparent that of the founders of the Manchester XXI Club he was the only one with one forename, they rechristened him Henry "Bloody" Toft.〔(University of Manchester XXI Club - Club History: The First 25 Years - written by Allister Cranna (Cross Country 1944) )〕 However, he had also been known as Bert due to a foreshortening of his birth name. This was combined with his nickname Henry such that he became known as Henry Bert Toft, and thence H B Toft. So ubiquitous was the use of Henry Bert Toft as his name that some commentators on the sport cite Henry Bert as his forenames.〔Steve Lewis, ''One Among Equals'', pages 278, 2008 (Vertical Editions:London)〕
