Kuggeleijn was of Dutch extraction, which accounts for his unusual middle name of Mary. Kuggeleijn's son Scott plays for the Wellington Firebirds in the Plunket Shield.
International career
His biggest contribution came in just the third over of his Test debut at Bangalore, when he took the catch (India's Arun Lal) that gave Richard Hadlee the record number of Test wickets (374) at the time.
After cricket
He later coached the Northern Districts cricket team and the Hamilton Boys' High School 1st XI which, under his tutelage was national champion twice.
