Sandford Spence Schultz (born 29 August 1857 in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England; died 18 December 1937 in Brompton, Kensington, London, England) was a cricketer who played for Cambridge University, Lancashire and England. Although Schultz was only an occasional player in first-class cricket, he was prolific in club cricket and was selected as an amateur in Lord Harris's side that toured Australia in 1878/9 and played in the one Test match of that tour.
Schultz was a fast round-arm bowler and made a lot of runs in club cricket. His obituary in Wisden in 1938 recalled a less happy batting experience related in a letter to The Times by a Mr Edmund Peake about a match on the Christchurch ground at Oxford in 1881. "The fast bowler (I blush to say it) committed such havoc as would have made him famous in these days. The Gentlemen refused to continue and the match was begun all over again in The Parks. One batsman – SS Schultz – was out first ball each time. Twice first ball in one innings – a record."
His father was GE Schultz, and his mother Emma. Schultz was a stockbroker by trading, working on the Liverpool Exchange. Around the time of the First World War, Schultz changed his Germanic-sounding name to Sandford Spence Storey.
