The Gentlemen appeared in first-class cricket between 1806 and 1962, always in the showcase Gentlemen v Players matches against the Players. Teams called the Gentlemen have played in a few minor matches. The inaugural Gentlemen v Players fixture was held at Lord’s on 7, 8 & 9 July 1806, the Gentlemen winning by an innings and 14 runs.[1] The fixture was played in most seasons since then, often in two or more instalments, until the last one at North Marine Road, Scarborough on 8, 10 & 11 September 1962, the Players winning by 7 wickets.[2] The Gentlemen were cricketers with amateur status, who nominally claimed expenses for playing, whereas the Players were paid professionals. The outstanding figure in Gentlemen cricket was W. G. Grace.
