Geoffrey Legge

Geoffrey Bevington Legge (26 January 1903 – 21 November 1940) was an English first-class cricketer who played in five Test matches between 1927 and 1930.

[1] He was born at Bromley, Kent and died at Brampford Speke, Devon in a flying accident while serving in the Fleet Air Arm during World War II.

The couple are listed in the 1911 census as living at Sundridge Avenue, Bromley, Kent, with the family of five supplemented by five live-in servants.

By the time of Geoffrey Legge's marriage on 19 September 1929 to Rosemary Frost, the family is recorded as living at Baston Manor, Hayes, Kent.

[8] In 1926, Legge was the Oxford captain and was top of the averages again, but his season was disrupted first by the General Strike, which caused matches to be abandoned, and then by his involvement in a car accident in which he injured his hand: "A most unfortunate affair," Wisden wrote.

[10] He was recovered in time to lead his team in the University Match which was a low-scoring game won narrowly by Cambridge; Legge scored 14 and 16.

[12] Legge was one of half a dozen amateur players, and equalled his then-highest score when he made 120 against Orange Free State.
