Arthur Haygarth

Arthur Haygarth (born Hastings 4 August 1825; died Pimlico 1 May 1903) was an English cricketer and cricket historian.

He was educated at Harrow and represented MCC, Middlesex and Sussex. He achieved greater fame after he retired from playing, as a cricket writer, historian and biographer.

He is renowned as the compiler of Frederick Lillywhite's Cricket Scores and Biographies, published in 15 volumes between 1862 and 1879. Volume 1 covering the 1744 to 1826 seasons is by far the most significant as it is the main source of reference data for late 18th century cricket.
