Dove Gregory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dove Gregory (real name Gregory Dove; February 9, 1837 — May 21, 1873) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm round-arm fast bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1871 and 1872, in four matches between the Peakites and Lancashire. Dove was born in Sutton-in-Ashfield and died in Derby.

Gregory was the first member of the inaugural Derbyshire team which played its first match in 1871 to lose his life, at the age of 36, though he managed to pick up 25 first-class wickets for the county.
