About David Gibson (cricketer)

  • David Gibson (1 May 1936 – 7 June 2012) was an English cricketer who played for Surrey from 1957 to 1969.
  • He was a fast-medium bowler who captured over 500 wickets in his career, and also a useful enough batsman almost to rank as an all-rounder.
  • He was also a fine rugby player, appearing at county level and in schoolboy internationals.His cricket career, though reasonably successful, could be considered an unlucky one.
  • He never took 100 wickets in a season, but came close on several occasions.
  • His best season with the bat saw him fall just four runs short of 1,000 runs.
  • He never made a century, but had scores of 98 and 95 not out.
  • Worst of all, he was struck down by an injury that all but finished his career just as he had appeared to have reached his peak.
