}}Henry Grierson (1891–1972) was an English cricketer, barrister and author, who played cricket for Bedfordshire between 1909 and 1921 and for Cambridge University from 1911 to 1912.[1]

Biography

Born on 26 August 1891 in Chertsey, Surrey, Henry Grierson was educated at Bedford School and at Pembroke College, Cambridge. His first County Championship appearances for Bedfordshire came in 1909. He gained his Blue playing for Cambridge University between 1911 and 1912. He continued to play for Bedfordshire until 1921.[2]

In 1936, at the age of forty-five, Grierson concluded that if he could "raise a sufficient number of good players of forty and over, we might be sharp enough to handle some of the school sides". He persuaded Sir Pelham Warner and Jack Hobbs to become President and Vice President of a new club, to be called The Forty Club, with members being forty years of age or older. The XL was adopted as its logo and the first game was played against Wellingborough School in June 1937.[3]

Henry Grierson died in Sunbury-on-Thames on 29 January 1972, aged 80.[4]
