Alfort Smith

Alfort Smith (7 July 1846 – 21 December 1908) was an English cricketer who kept wicket for Lancashire in 1867 and 1871 and for Derbyshire between 1873 and 1880.

Smith was born in Bank Lane, near Bury Lancashire, but his parents moved to Glossop shortly after his birth.

Smith was top scorer at 11 not out in Lancashire's record low innings score of 25, but his two catches and two stumpings were not enough to stave off defeat.

Smith was a right-handed batsman and played 98 innings in 55 first-class matches at an average of 4.76 and a top score of 30.

[3] In 1881 Smith was living with his family as a cotton weaver at Fitzallan Street Glossop Dale.
