Gustave Peter Sapenne Delisle (25 December 1934 – 12 December 2014) was an English cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Middlesex and Oxford University between 1954 and 1957.[1]
Delisle was educated at Stonyhurst College and Lincoln College, Oxford.[2] He retired from cricket at the end of the 1957 season and joined the Rifle Brigade.[3] He then worked in finance in the City of London until severe injuries from a road accident forced his early retirement in 1986. He took up a position at Sunningdale School in 1988.[4]
