Selby Norton
Selby Norton (13 September 1836 – 11 November 1906) was an English medical doctor who played one first-class cricket match for Kent County Cricket Club. He was born at West Malling in Kent and died in Brixton.[1]
Norton made an appearance in 1860 for the Gentlemen of Kent, but his only first-class appearance came three years later against Nottinghamshire. A medical doctor by trade, Norton was called up to play in an emergency by his brother South Norton, who was the county captain at the time.[2][3]
Another brother, Bradbury Norton, and a nephew, Henry Hayman, also played first-class cricket.[4]
