Stanley Scott


Stanley Winckworth Scott was an English cricketer who played for Middlesex [County Cricket Club|Middlesex].
Scott was a middle-order batsman who played fairly regularly for Middlesex from 1878 to 1893, heading the batting averages in several seasons, though by modern standards his figures appear modest. His best season was 1892, when he scored 1015 runs at an average of 39 runs per innings, and against Gloucestershire [County Cricket Club|Gloucestershire] at Lord's that season he scored 224, then regarded as a colossal score. He did well that season in both Gentlemen v Players matches at Lord's and The Oval, and was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1893.
He also played football and played for Clapham [Rovers F.C.|Clapham Rovers] in the 1879 [FA Cup Final], losing 1–0 to the Old Etonians.
