William Gunn (cricketer)
William "Billy" Gunn (4 December 1858 – 29 January 1921) was an English sportsman who played internationally in both cricket and football. In first-class cricket, Gunn played professionally for Nottinghamshire from 1880 to 1904 and represented England in 11 Test matches. In football, he played for both Notts County and Nottingham Forest as an amateur and played twice for England, scoring one goal in the inaugural 1884 British Home Championship.〔"Have it!" (Dec 2008) ''Four Four Two'', No. 172, p. 48〕
==Cricket career==
Born at St Anne's, Nottingham, Gunn was a specialist right-handed batsman (RHB) who occasionally bowled slow underarm lobs. He was an outfielder who was noted for his accurate throwing. His most successful season was 1889, following which he was voted Wisden Batsman of the Year. He joined his Nottinghamshire colleagues Alfred Shaw and Arthur Shrewsbury in the English cricket team in Australia in 1886–87.
In his Wisden citation, Gunn was described in the following terms:
...we think we are correct in saying that no batsman of the same height (ft. 2½ in. )〔("William Gunn" ) (1892) ''The Strand Magazine'' Vol. 4, p. 42〕 has ever played in more elegant and perfect form. Even before he rose to his fame as a batsman, Gunn was one of the most brilliant fields in the country, and it was the general opinion of practical cricketers of his era that in the long field and at third man he had never had a superior. Gunn was a member of Alfred Shaw and Arthur Shrewsbury's team in Australia during the season of 1886/7, and averaged 21.8 in eleven-a-side matches, and 20.7 in all matches.
