Gerald Smithson
Gerald (Gerry) Arthur Smithson (born Spofforth, Yorkshire, on November 1 1926, died suddenly aged 43 at home in Abingdon, Oxfordshire on September 6 1970), played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1946 and 1949, his highest innings for the county being 169 against Leicestershire CCC at Leicester in 1947. Perhaps his most famous innings was the 98 he scored in the Roses Match of 1947 against Lancashire CCC when he was just 20, and which has been described in the writings of Yorkshire broadcaster and journalist Michael Parkinson (Parkinson's Lore, London: Pavilion, 1981).
