John Winter
Edit ProfileCareer
Winter played as a lower-order batsman and an occasional bowler in amateur cricket matches in Somerset in the 1870s, but made only one appearance for the Somerset first-class county side, the first game of the 1884 season against Kent, in which he scored 4 and 0, took one catch and did not bowl. Earlier he had had a military career, joining the 70th Foot regiment as a lieutenant in 1871. He later served as an officer in the West Somerset Yeomanry, from which he retired in 1892 with the honorary rank of major.
The father of another Somerset cricketer, Walter Shuldham, was promoted to replace him when he retired.
