Stanley Roy Goodridge (28 October 1928 – 29 September 2016) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Jamaica from 1950 to 1954.[1]
A fast bowler, Goodridge made his first-class debut for Jamaica in 1950. In his fourth match, against British Guiana, he took 5 for 73 in the second innings in a Jamaican victory.[2] Two seasons later he took 5 for 158 against British Guiana.[3] In his next match, against the touring Indians, he took 6 for 28 with "hostile and accurate"[4] fast bowling in the first innings to dismiss them for 140.[5]
He played one further match for Jamaica in early 1954 before moving to County Durham in England to play as a professional for Seaham Park in the Durham County Cricket League.[6] He played two non-first-class matches for Durham in 1956. In one, he took five wickets against Yorkshire, all of Test cricketers.[7]
He married in 1952 fellow Jamaican Connie Mark (1923–2007), medical secretary and later an activist for West Indians in London, with whom he had a son and daughter. They later divorced.[6]
