George Pollitt

English cricketer

George Pollitt (3 June 1874–1942) was an English first-class cricketer, who played one match for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1899.[1] Unusually for a 'one match wonder' he was highly successful in his only innings, scoring 51 against Hampshire in a drawn match at Park Avenue, Bradford. He took a catch but did not bowl.[1] He also played for the Yorkshire Second XI during that year, and for Bedfordshire from 1904 to 1906. He also played football and made one Southern League appearance as a right back for Brentford in 1899.[2]

Pollitt was born in Chickenley, Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England and died during 1942 in Blackpool Lancashire.
