Charles Thomas Michael Pugh (13 March 1937 – 1 February 2016) was an English cricketer who captained Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.[1] He was also arguably, for almost half a century, the best doubles rackets player in the world.

At one time he owned and ran a nightclub, and as a result was charged with "keeping or managing a brothel", but was acquitted.
