George Stevenson (cricketer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Stevenson should not be confused with Bob Stephenson, real name George Stephenson, former Derbyshire and Hampshire cricketer.

George Stevenson (July 20, 1876 — July 25, 1938) was an English cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire during the 1904 season. He was born in Derby and died in Fritchley.

Stevenson played his debut first-class match in May 1904, a miscellaneous match against London County in which the opposing team, captained by WG Grace, finished the county side off within two days, securing an innings victory. Stevenson's only County Championship match came against Essex a month later, in which Stevenson bowled economically but did not bat well from the tailend.
