List of Lancashire County Cricket Club players

(Redirected from J. Harrop)

This is a list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Lancashire County Cricket Club in top-class matches since the club was founded in 1864. Lancashire have held first-class status since their inaugural match in 1865. The details are the player's usual name followed by the seasons in which he was active as a Lancashire player. The list excludes Second XI and other players who did not play for the club's first team; and players whose first team appearances were in minor matches only.

Many players represented other top-class teams besides Lancashire and some played for the old Manchester Cricket Club before 1864. Eight of those represented a Manchester team styled Lancashire in 1864 before going on to play in first-class matches for the new club from 1865. Players who represented the county before 1865 are included if they also played for the county club but excluded if not. The list has been updated to the end of the 2023 cricket season.[1]

  1. ^ Aspinwall made eight List A appearances for the side during 2023, scoring 108 runs and taking 10 wickets. He was born at Lancaster in 2004 and educated at Sedbergh School.[2]
  2. ^ Bulcock, who was born at Colne in 1911 and educated at Park School in the town, played a single first-class match for the county during the 1946 season. Opening both the batting and bowling against Sussex, he scored a single run in his only innings and took two wickets in the match. He played league cricket for Colne Cricket Club from 1929 until 1952, turning professional after the 1936 season. As a professional he played for a variety of sides in both Yorkshire and Staffordshire leagues, as well as making single appearances for Lancashire League sides Nelson in 1953 and Burnley in 1956. During World War II Bulcock served in the British Army and played a number of wartime cricket matches for services sides as well as for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire sides. His son Brian Bulcock later played for Colne CC, father and son playing together in a match during the 1952 season. He died at Colne in 2001 aged 88.[3][4][5][6]
  3. ^ Dunlop was the son of Alexander Dunlop of Clober in Scotland and was educated at The Edinburgh Academy where he was a notable batsman. He moved to the Liverpool area and played for Cheshire in 1865. He made his only first-class appearance in June 1868 in a match against Surrey, scoring 17 runs in total. Dunlop was born at Edinburgh in 1846 and died at Crichton Royal Hospital in Dumfries in 1929 after having been hospitalised for his own safety for three years. His nephew, Thomas Dunlop played first-class cricket for Scotland in 1911.[7][8]
  4. ^ Harrop played a single first-class match for the county in 1874, scoring five runs against Derbyshire. He is known to have played club cricket for Broughton in Manchester between 1964 and 1878 and for Manchester Clifford in 1884 and was educated at Bramham College in Tadcaster, but no other biographical details are known.[9][10]
  5. ^ A wicket-keeper, Hurst played in eight List A matches during 2023 before making his first-class debut towards the end of the season, playing in two County Championship matches during September. He was born at Billinge Higher End near Wigan in 2003 and was educated at Byrchall High School and Winstanley College.[11]
  6. ^ Milne, who was born in 1852 at Prestwich, played a single match for the county, scoring 7 not out in his only innings against Somerset in June 1882. He was the son of William Henry Milne, a Manchester cotton manufacturer, and was wealthy enough to not be required to work. He played a number of non-first class matches, including for the Gentlemen of Warwickshire between 1871 and 1878, Warwickshire County Cricket Club between 1876 and 1879, before the county had first-class status, and MCC between 1879 and 1892. He had three sons and died at Lemington Spa in 1927 aged 74.[12][13][14]
  7. ^ Nutter played a single match for the county in 1885, scoring 18 runs in his only innings against Derbyshire. he was born at Marsden near Colne in 1858 and died at Nelson in 1903 at the age of 44.[15][16]
  8. ^ Roberts played 10 matches for the county, the only first-class matches he is known to have played, scoring 100 runs and, as a wicket-keeper, taking nine catches and making five stumpings.[17] In James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual he was recorded as RS Roberts in 1873 and in 1875 described as an amateur player who was "a very good bat and field". It is possible that his first name was Richard and that he played for Accrington Cricket Club, although this is uncertain.[18]
  9. ^ Slater's only first-class match was Lancashire's second match after the formation of the county club, an 1865 fixture against Middlesex. He recorded a pair. It is considered likely that he played for Longsight Cricket Club and Bolton Cricket Club, but no other biographical details are known.[19][20]
  10. ^ Smalley played twice for Lancashire in 1869, recording a pair in his first match against Surrey in May before scoring 7 and 17 against Sussex in August. He is known to have played for Enfield Cricket Club between 1869 and 1886 as an amateur, usually keeping wicket, but no other biographical details are known.[21][22]
