George Stuart Boyes (March 31, 1899 - February 11, 1973) was an English first class cricketer who played with Hampshire.
Boyes was a slow left-arm bowler with a high action, taking 1415 wickets for Hampshire. He twice took a hattrick, one of them when he took his career best figures of 9 for 57 against Somerset at Yeovil in 1938. With the bat he took 413 matches before making his maiden century, only three players in history have waited longer.[2]
His brother Ken was a professional footballer with Southampton and Bristol Rovers, as well as a member of Hampshire's ground staff.
