Walter Keeton Cricketer
William Walter Keeton was an English cricketer who played in two Tests in 1934 and 1939. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1940 and played first-class cricket between 1926 and 1952 for Nottinghamshire. He also played professional soccer for Nottingham Forest and Sunderland. He scored a century against every other first-class county and his 312 not out made in just under eight hours against Middlesex at the Oval in 1939 is still a record for the Nottinghamshire team. Middlesex had to 'borrow' Surrey's ground because Eton were playing Harrow at Lord's, hence the unusual location. A prolific opener who made 54 first-class hundreds (including that treble and six doubles), he was unlucky to appear only twice for England.
