Princes Park, Liverpool born right-hand batsman and wicket-keeper William Findlay was educated at Eton and Oriel College, Oxford, making his first class debut for the University in 1901. He played 88 first class matches for Oxford University and Lancashire between 1901 and 1906, during which he scored 1,984 runs at an average of 19.45, with a highest score of 81. He took 140 catches and made 27 stumpings in those games. He was part of Lancashire’s 1904 County Championship winning team.
When Albert Chevallier Tayler was preparing his painting, Kent vs Lancashire at Canterbury he arranged sittings with the Kent team. Tayler also intended to do the same with the non-striking Lancashire batsman, Harry Makepeace. Makepeace however was unable to attend a sitting, so Tayler compromised by using Findlay as the batsman. Findlay had not actually played in that particular match, but he was able to travel to Tayler’s London studio as he had just been appointed as secretary of Surrey County Cricket Club after his retirement as a cricket player at the end of 1906.
Findley was secretary at Surrey County Cricket Club until 1920 when he was appointed as assistant secretary to Sir Francis Lacey at the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord’s; he succeeded Lacey as secretary in 1926 and served until 1936. He was President of the M.C.C. in 1951-52.
NB in the photograph he stands on the far left with the other amateur members of Lancashire’s successful 1904 County Championship winning team.
