George Pinder (15 July 1841 – 15 January 1903) was an English first-class cricketer.

[1][2][3] His birth name was George Pinder Hattersley and he was born at Ecclesfield in Sheffield.

He had to deal with Emmett's famous "sostenuter", a ball pitching on the leg stump and then breaking sharply towards the off bail.

He is believed to have been the first keeper to dispense with a long-stop, during a North v. South match in the mid or late 1870s.

On another occasion, at The Oval, Ephraim Lockwood who was fielding long-stop said: "Nay, George, I've been behind thee for twenty-three overs and had nowt to stop.
