George Hirst
George Herbert Hirst (7 September 1871 - 10 May 1954) was one of the finest all-round cricketers of cricket's Golden Age, and though he tended to disappoint for England, for his county he was prolific with both bat and ball; Lord Hawke, his captain at Yorkshire, reckoned him the greatest of all county cricketers. He was the only man to do the "double double" of scoring 2000 runs and taking 200 wickets in a season, which feat he achieved in 1906, and when asked whether this record would ever be broken replied, "I don't know, but whoever does it will be very tired".
