The son of Dr Richard Francis Hawke, he was born at Portsmouth in April 1934. He was educated at Harrow School, before going up to Corpus Christi College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Leicestershire at Oxford in 1953.[2] Playing as the Oxford wicket-keeper, he batted twice in the match, ending the Oxford first innings unbeaten on 23, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 8 runs by Jack Walsh.[3]
After graduating from Oxford in 1964, he became a medical doctor. He was made a fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1969, and worked at the London Hospital as a house surgeon and resident anesthetist.[1] He later became a general practitioner at Fakenham, Norfolk.[4]
