William Ernest Newnham Scott (31 May 1903 – 6 August 1989) was an English cricketer. Scott was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break.
Scott had been invited by Hampshire for a trial in 1925. A hand injury prevented him from playing for the county that season.
Instead Scott made his first-class debut for Hampshire against Essex. Scott made five appearances for Hampshire during the 1927 County Championship, with his final first-class match for the county coming against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
Scott died at Newport on the Isle of Wight on 6 August 1989. At the time of his death, Scott was the only man born on the island to play first-class cricket.[1]
