Andrew Archibald Steele Scott (26 January 1918 – 1 November 2019) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and was the oldest ever living Scottish first-class cricketer.[1]
Scott was born in the Edinburgh suburb of Liberton on 26 January 1918. He was educated in England at Sedbergh School, attending from 1932 to 1937.[2] Prior to the Second World War, Scott enlisted in the British Army as a second lieutenant in the 78th (Lowland) Field Regiment. He played for Scotland in one first-class cricket match against Ireland at Cork in 1947.[3] Batting twice during the match, Scott was dismissed for 12 runs in Scotland's first-innings by Eddie Ingram, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by the same bowler without scoring.[4] He later worked as a director of Scottish Malt Distillers.[5]
He became the oldest living person to have played first-class cricket for Scotland in June 2009, following the death of Stan Sismey.[6] In November 2010, he became the oldest known person in the United Kingdom to have passed an advanced driving test, having initially passed his driving test in 1935 in a Humber.[5] He celebrated his 100th birthday in January 2018,[2] becoming the first Scottish cricketer to have reached the landmark. He died in November 2019, at the age of 101.[1]
