Walter George (20 September 1847 – 2 November 1938) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club in 1875.[1]
George was born at Selling near Faversham in Kent in 1847.[2] He played for MCC in 1872 but did not make his first-class cricket debut until 1875 when he played five times for Kent as a bowler. George was a left-arm fast-medium roundarm bowler and took 22 first-class wickets in his five matches. He took 6 wickets for 32 runs against Hampshire and 7 for 86 against Derbyshire.[3]
George's last known match was for Lord Harris' XI at Faversham in 1879. He died at Bell Green near Sydenham in Kent in 1938 at the age of 91.
