Harry Spencer (cricketer, born 1901)

Harry Norman Ernest Spencer (1 October 1901 – 13 August 1954) was an English first-class cricketer who played four matches between 1923 and 1932, one for Worcestershire and three for Warwickshire.

Born in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, Spencer made his first (and only) appearance for Worcestershire against the touring New Zealanders in June 1927.

He picked up two wickets, dismissing the New Zealand captain Tom Lowry in each innings, but proved expensive: his ten overs cost him 68 runs.

Spencer lived at 189, Old Dover Road, Canterbury, Kent, and was manager of the Canterbury branch of Lloyds Bank at the time of his death in 1954, having previously been deputy manager of the Leamington Spa branch.

He was struck by a bus while crossing Oxford Street, London, dying in Hammersmith at the age of 52.
