Stuart McMillan (cricketer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuart McMillan (September 17, 1896 — September 27, 1963) was an English cricketer and footballer and later became a manager. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who played for Derbyshire. He was born in Leicester and died in Ashbourne.

[edit] Cricket career

McMillan's debut came in the 1922 season, where, as a middle-order batsman, he was unable to make much headway in the match, bowling a single, expensive over, conceding 14 runs, and finishing not out for 0 in the only innings in which he batted. As there was no play on the first day of the match, it was to fizzle out to a draw with the best batting performance of the game coming from centurion Peter Perrin.

McMillan made just one appearance during the following season, and had to wait for more than thirteen months before making his final two appearances, both at home, in 1924. While he scored well in the first match of the season, his second finished with him getting out for a duck.

[edit] Football career

McMillan was also a footballer and played for Derby County, Gillingham, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bradford City, Nottingham Forest and Clapton Orient. He later returned to Derby County as manager.
