Background
He was born at Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire.
He was born at Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire.
He was a left-handed middle-order batsman. When Paul Munden returned to the Leicestershire first team later in the season it was as a direct replacement for Vic, who had played in the previous match and who did not play any further first-team cricket thereafter. Paul Munden himself had an irregular first-class career and never appeared in more than 11 matches in a season.
He passed 50 in five innings, but his highest score was only 77, made in 1963 against Sussex, and in no season did his batting average rise above 20 runs per innings.
In 1964 he had a particularly poor batting season and though he appeared in his only List A match that year it was his last season in major cricket. He continued to play intermittently for Leicestershire"s second eleven through to 1976.
