No one has ever captained England at both professional sports.

Reginald ("Tip") Erskine Foster the only man ever to have captained England at both her national sports. He played 5 football internationals for England between 1900 and 1902 and captained England against Wales, with 10 professionals under him in 1902. He captained the England cricket team in 3 Test against South Africa in 1907. His 287 in his debut Test at Sydney in the 1903-04 Tour remains, in 2010, the highest Test score by an Englishman in Australia. He scored a series aggregate of 486 on that Tour, at the age of 25. Business pressure prevented him playing more than he did, and he died from Diabetes, before insulin was discovered, at the age of 36, He was one of 7 brothers all of whom played cricket for Worcestershire.

Answer: Clement Arthur Milton (March 10, 1928 - April 25, 2007) was an English cricketer and footballer. He played County cricket for Gloucestershire from 1948 to 1974, playing 6 Test matches for the English cricket team in 1958 and 1959. He also played domestic football for Arsenal between 1951 and 1955, and then for a brief period for Bristol City. He played one match for the England national football team in 1951, against Austria at Wembley. He was the last Survivor of the 12 people to have played at the highest international level for both England's football and cricket teams.It seems Milton is the right anwer. The 79-year-old legend who died in 2007 at his home in Bristol was the last man to play football and cricket for his country England.
