Brian Boobbyer played in nine Test matches for England at rugby union between 1950 and 1952. He also played cricket at first-class level, and was awarded Blues for both sports by Oxford University for appearing against Cambridge. But in 1952, at the age of twenty-four, he gave up playing both games, in order to devote his life to working for the Moral Re-Armament movement. The son of a doctor, Boobbyer attended Durston House preparatory school before transferring to Uppingham, a leading "public school". Whilst there he became Head Boy. After school, he did his National Service, during which time he first played rugby at senior club level, for Rosslyn Park. In 1948 he went up to Oxford University to read History at Brasenose College, already with a reputation as a good cricketer and rugby player. As well as playing club rugby for Rosslyn Park, Boobbyer played for Middlesex in the County Championship
