George Glossop Walker
George Glossop Walker (1860–1908) was an English Cricketer who played for Derbyshire between 1881 and 1898.
== Early life ==
Walker was born 14 June 1860 at Harthill Grange, Yorkshire, the son of George Walker a farmer. His father maintained a diary which noted after his fifth birthday "Mr Hudson sent Georgy a cricket bat and stumps". Walker then went to school, boarding at Whitwell and later was at Broomback House School, Sheffield. He took every opportunity to watch W. G. Grace play against Yorkshire. By 14 he was playing cricket for Whitwell and by 1880 for Whitwell he had a batting average of 27 and a bowling average of just 4. He was also winning prizes as a sprinter.〔(The Diary of George Walker a farmer of Harthill & Whitwell, 1861–99 )〕
Walker had a county trial for Derbyshire at Chesterfield when he was 18, but he did not play for the side then. He played for the Gentlemen of Sheffield in 1879, but his first appearance in first class cricket for Derbyshire was not until 1881. At that time, he was at living with his parents at the Manor House, Whitwell, Derbyshire where his father farmed ,〔British Census 1881〕 and he became a farmer himself. He was made a vice-president of Whitwell Cricket Club in 1881. 'G G' Walker with James Stubbings and Samuel Malthouse performed notably for the club in the 1880s and all three also played for Welbeck.〔(Whitwell Local History Group People )〕
