Cuthbert James "Pinky" Burnup (1875 – 1960). English amateur sportsman, who played cricket and football around the turn of the 20th century. Burnup played once for the England football team but is more renowned for playing over 200 first-class cricket matches, mainly for Kent County Cricket Club. He was named as one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1903.
- "For reasons unknown, at Oxford and for all or most of his playing career Burnup was known as ‘Pinky’. He had red hair but it is not clear if this had any relevance to his nickname." https://archive.acscricket.com/books/Kent_Cricketers_A_to_Z_Part_One.pd
