Paul Gibb Cricketer
Paul Gibb (11 July 1913 – 7 December 1977) was an English cricketer, who played in eight Tests for England from 1938 to 1946. He also played first-class cricket for Cambridge University and Yorkshire, mostly as a batsman but occasionally also keeping wicket. Gibb was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford, and played first-class cricket for Cambridge University from 1935 to 1938. He was initially chosen as a batsman in his first year, 1935, and also started playing for Yorkshire. He scored 157 not out, his first first-class century and ultimately his second highest score in first-class cricket, in his first innings for Yorkshire in 1935, and toured in Jamaica in 1935-36. Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, described Gibb as "a slight, bespectacled man, Paul Gibb was a solitary teetotaller yet his value was always appreciated by his team-mates. He was a resolute run-maker and broke through as a specialist batsman in South Africa in 1938-39, scoring 93 and 106 on his debut".
