Robert Horne was one of just three men, along with J Braid and Timothée Jordan, to score double figures for France in their first innings against Great Britain in 1900. His total of 15 was bettered only by Braid’s 25. In 1910, ten years after his Olympic exploits, Horne played for France in a quadrangular tournament that was part of the Brussels International Exhibition, involving teams from The Netherlands, Belgium and the MCC.
Although Horne was a British national in 1900, he entered the Olympic cricket match while playing for the French side, Union des Sociétés Français de Sports Athletiques, although in Britain he was a member of the combined team made up of players from the Union Club and the Standard Athletic Club that joined with the French side for the Olympic match.
