Alan Lloyd "Froggy" Thomson (born December 2, 1945, Reservoir, Victoria) is a former Australian cricketer and Australian rules football umpire.
A right-arm fast-medium who delivered the ball with a windmill-like action, off the "wrong foot". He played in 4 Tests and one ODI from 1970 to 1971.
He is famous for taking the first-ever wicket in ODI cricket (Geoff Boycott caught by Bill Lawry for 8 runs); it was his only ODI wicket.
He was also a highly respected senior Australian rules football umpire, umpiring Senior Grade VFL football, at a time when there was only one field umpire, and before the transformation of the VFL into the AFL.
