Biographical data
Name: Hoon, Charles Richard  
Born: 1853
Died: 11 Nov. 1932
 
Notes:
The 'Hoon' listed in the Illustrated London News (25 Mar. 1876, p.311) as playing for the Eclectic Club in 1876 may be the 'Horn' listed in a subsequent issue (15 Apr. 1876, p.383). The Era of 2 Jul. 1871 (p.7) has 'Horn' instead of 'Hoon'. The Daily News of 22 Oct. 1894 (p.3) has 'Hoon, O.R.' in error.
