John Davison Barnsdale (24 May 1878 – 5 August 1960) was an English cricketer and footballer. He was a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper who played for Nottinghamshire.[1] [2] [3]
Born in Arnold, Nottinghamshire, Barnsdale was educated at Nottingham High School, Sedbergh School and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.[1] [2] He played club cricket with Nottingham Forest CC and Magdala CC.[1] He also played 25 matches in the Football League First Division as a half-back for Nottingham Forest in 1904 and 1905.[1] He was a director of the Raleigh Bicycle Company[1] and served as a major in the Lancashire Fusiliers.[1] [2]
Barnsdale made just one first-class appearance, against Oxford University at the University Parks on 8 June 1905. He scored a duck in the first innings of the match and ten runs in the second, and took one stumping. His first-innings dismissal came courtesy of William Evans, for whom Barnsdale's wicket was one of a hat-trick.[4]
Barnsdale was a tailend batsman.
He became a farmer when he moved to Frensham, Surrey, where he retired. He died on 5 August 1960 in Lower Bourne, Farnham, Surrey at the age of 82 years.[1]
