Robin Francis Eliot (7 March 1942 – 10 February 2017) was an English first-class cricketer and racing horse owner.
Eliot was born at Gloucester in March 1942. He was educated at Radley College, before going up to Lincoln College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford he made two appearances in first-class cricket in 1961. The first came for Oxford University against Leicestershire at Oxford, while the second came for L. C.
