Steve Meikle

Stephen Spencer Churchill Meikle (6 July 1905 – 4 June 1960) was an English international rugby union player.

Born in West Derby, Liverpool, Meikle was the elder brother of England wing three-quarter Graham Meikle and joined his local side Waterloo at age 18. His solitary England cap came as a stand-off in a 1929 Calcutta Cup match against Scotland at Murrayfield, forming a partnership with fellow debutant Eddie Richards.

Meikle was managing director of a ship painting company and served as a Lancashire selector. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning in his car in 1960 at the age of 54. A verdict of suicide was recorded by the coroner.
