Frank Edward Woolley (born 27 May 1887 in Tonbridge , Kent , died 18 October 1978 in Chester , Nova Scotia , Canada ) was an English Cricketer , one of the finest All-rounder s the game has seen. In a career lasting more than thirty years, he scored more First-class runs than anyone but Sir Jack Hobbs and took over 2,000 wickets at an Average of under 20. He is also the only non- Wicket-keeper to have held more than 1,000 catches.

Woolley played 64 Test Matches between 1909 and 1934 , coincidentally both topping and tailing his international career with games against Australia at The Oval . He was made a Wisden Cricketer Of The Year in 1911 . In County Cricket he spent his entire career ( 1906 - 1938 ) with Kent County Cricket Club , making his mark in his third game when he produced match figures of 95 runs and 8-119 with the ball to help Kent to a One-wicket Win .
