Harry Bedford (cricketer)
- Harry Bedford (cricketer)
Harry Bedford was a first-class cricketer who played 5 games for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1928.
He was, unusually for a Yorkshire born cricketer, a right arm leg break and googly bowler who took 8 wickets at 22.37 with a best of 6 for 91 against Derbyshire in Dewsbury when he helped spin Yorkshire to a win by an innings and 22 runs. Interestingly the great Wilfred Rhodes, who had destroyed the Derbyshire batting in the first innings, failed to take a wicket as the 21 year old Bedford bowled 32 overs with 6 maidens for his 6 for 91. He scored 57 runs at 14.25 with a top score of 24 against Essex.
He played at least 27 times for Yorkshire Second XI from 1926 to 1933 and was unlucky not to feature again in the first team after such a promising start.
Born on July 17, 1907 in Morley, Yorkshire he died, aged 60, on July 5, 1968 in Croydon, Surrey.
