Martin Bayfield (born 21 December 1966) is a former rugby union footballer who played lock forward for Northampton and England, gaining 31 England and 3 Lions caps at lock forward.
The 6'10" tall policeman made his England debut in 1991, and although he was ommitted from the 1991 World Cup squad, was a part of the 1992 Grand Slam winning side. In 1993 he toured New Zealand with the British Lions and in 1995 was part of the World Cup squad. He would play 18 times partnering Martin Johnson. His final appearance for England came in the 1996 five nations match against Wales.
He is one of the tallest men ever to play international rugby union.
Since retirement, Bayfield has worked a journalist and has since appeared in the Harry Potter films as Hagrid in longer shots where his height is imporant and Robbie Coltrane is too short for.
