George Harman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Richard Uniacke Harman (born 6 June 1874 in Crosshaven, County Cork, Ireland; died 14 December 1975 in Cornwall, England[1]) was an Irish cricketer and Rugby Union player. A right-handed batsman, he played one first-class match for Dublin University against the MCC in May 1895.[2] He is notable as being one of only eight first-class cricketers to live beyond the age of 100.[3] He was much more successful as a Rugby Union player, representing Ireland twice in the 1899 Four Nations, playing against England and Wales.[4] His brother William Harman played one first-class match for Ireland in 1907.[1]
