John Allan Richardson (4 August 1908 – 2 April 1985) was an English amateur first-class cricketer, who played seven matches for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1936 and 1947,[1] and once for the Gentlemen v Players in 1934.
He was one of the most gifted amateurs ever to assist Yorkshire, and had he been able to spare time to play cricket regularly, he might have made a name for himself in the first-class game.
A tall, powerfully built batsman, with a penchant for the drive, he scored six consecutive centuries for Scarborough C.C.
Having been in the first team for thirty two years, Richardson scored 18,900 runs for Scarborough, at an average of 45.99.
