Шаблон:Infobox rugby biography Robert Hesford (26 March 1953 — 3 August 2023) was an English rugby union international.[1]

Hesford was born in Luanshya in Zambia, as the eldest of three brothers and a sister. His youngest brother Iain was a professional football goalkeeper, while the middle brother Steve played rugby league for Warrington. Their father Bob Sr was a Huddersfield Town footballer during the 1930s and 1940s. He was educated at Arnold School, Blackpool.[2]

A number eight, Hesford gained 10 England caps between 1981 and 1985. Following England's 1985 tour of New Zealand, in which he captained England in a tour win over Otago but was not selected for either Test, he announced his retirement from first-class rugby. He received his England caps while playing for Bristol, a club he went on to coach.[3]
