Name: McLeod, B.  
Born:
Died:
 
Notes:
Notes from Tim Harding on the City of London Club Handicap of 1873-1874 list 'B. McLeod' as a participant. My other sources give only 'McLeod'. I am guessing that the players of that surname playing in other inter-club matches in London in the 1870s are the same person.
