Earl Shilton, Leicestershire born Samuel Coe was a left-hand batsman and left-arm slow-medium bowler who played for Leicestershire from 1896 to 1923. Coe made a total of 448 appearances for his home county over a 27 year period. In July 1900, Coe became the first County cricket victim of Bernard Bosanquet’s innovation, the googly. The ball reportedly bounced four times before Coe was out stumped for 98. He also twice played for London County, once for the Players against Gentlemen in 1908 and once for an England XI against the touring Australians of 1909.
Coe scored 17,438 first-class runs at an average of 24.69 and passed 1,000 for a season seven times. His best seasonal total was 1,258 in 1914 which included his best innings of 252 not out against Northamptonshire in four hours. This score was Coe’s only double century and remained the County’s highest individual score until beaten by Phil Simmons in 1994. He made 18 other centuries and 82 half centuries.
Coe’s bowling returned 335 wickets at 32.20, with a best of 6-38 against London County in 1903, one of three occasions in which he took five wickets in an innings. He passed 50 wickets in a season once, when in 1905 he claimed 52 at 22.38. He also took 176 catches in first class cricket.
