Alan Wilfred Shipman (7 March 1901, Ratby, Leicestershire – 12 December 1979) was a first-class cricketer for Leicestershire between 1920 and 1936.
Only twenty years of age, he bowls fast right hand with an easy run up to the crease and an excellent action.
At present, he is rather weedy in build, but if he could put on a stone or two - we recommend a course of physical training during the winter - he might well develop into an England bowler.”[1] As a bowler, he took 607 wickets, at an average of 25.36 with 16 five wicket hauls.
His brother, Bill Shipman, also played first-class cricket for Leicestershire.
