Edward Butterfield
Edward Banks Butterfield (22 October 1848 – 6 May 1899) was an English first-class cricketer, who played one match for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1870.[1]
Born in Keighley, Yorkshire, Butterfield was a right-handed batsman who scored eight runs opening the innings, and ten, batting at number 4, against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.[1] Modest though this contribution was, every run proved vital, as Yorkshire won by only 2 runs, when Nottinghamshire were bowled out for 172 in their second innings.
Butterfield died in Keighley, aged 50, in May 1899.
