He was educated at Bedford Modern School.[2] Day began his career with Leicester (1919–1929) during which time he scored a then-club record 1,151 points including 108 tries, 281 conversions, 81 penalty goals, 4 drop goals and 2 goals from a mark. He gained four caps for England, versus Wales (1920, 1922), France (1922) and Scotland (1926). He scored two tries, one in each of the Wales matches, and kicked one conversion against Wales in 1922 and a penalty and a conversion against France.[3] Day's England debut, against Wales in 1920, came in slightly unusual circumstances. W. M. Lowry was originally selected to play on the wing and was photographed with the team but was replaced by Day (then representing the Army) just before kick-off. The selectors felt that the conditions would suit Day better and he scored and converted England's only try of the game.[4] He also played 80 first-class cricket matches for Hampshire County Cricket Club, scoring 3,142 runs at an average of 25.33 which included four centuries and 18 half-centuries.[5] After retiring from sport, Day became Rugby Union correspondent and a Cricket reporter at the Daily Telegraph. He died on 15 June 1972 at Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire, England.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://en.espn.co.uk/england/rugby/player/2594.html|title=Harold Day - Rugby Union - Players and Officials - ESPN Scrum|work=ESPN scrum|accessdate=4 July 2015}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Day, Harold}}{{england-rugbyunion-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.worldcat.org/title/harpur-trust-1552-1973/oclc/903515|title=The Harpur Trust, 1552-1973.|work=worldcat.org|accessdate=4 July 2015}} 3. ^http://www.espnscrum.com/statsguru/rugby/player/2594.html?class=1;template=results;type=player scrum.com 4. ^{{cite book |last=Bowker |first=Barry |title=England Rugby |year=1978 |publisher=Cassell Ltd |location=London |isbn=0304302147 |pages=58}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/england/content/player/11850.html|title=Harold Day|work=Cricinfo|accessdate=4 July 2015}} 13 : 1898 births|1972 deaths|People educated at Bedford Modern School|People from Darjeeling|English rugby union players|England international rugby union players|Leicester Tigers players|English cricketers|Hampshire cricketers|Rugby union wings|Gentlemen cricketers|British Army cricketers|Bedfordshire cricketers |
