Col Hoy
Colin Hoy (9 May 1922 at Windsor, Queensland – 24 March 1999 at Brisbane, Queensland), was an Australian cricket Test match umpire, the first Queenslander to be appointed. Hoy took to umpiring after becoming frustrated by a run of batting failures in Brisbane's grade cricket competition, and stood in his debut First-class match in January 1952. Johnnie Moyes, writing in 1959 when Hoy was a current Test umpire, stated that "he is young, has excellent eyesight and the keenness to study his art. … He should be in the forefront for years."
