Godfrey Lyons
Godfrey Louis Lyons (23 May 1853 – 30 March 1931) was an English cricketer. Lyons was a right-handed batsman. He was born at Fleetwood, Lancashire. Lyons made a single first-class appearance for Surrey against Nottinghamshire in 1880 at The Oval.[1] Nottinghamshire won the toss and elected to bat, making 266 all out. Surrey responded in their first-innings by being dismissed for just 16, at the time the joint fourth lowest total by a team in first-class cricket. Lyons was dismissed in the innings for a duck by Fred Morley. Forced to follow-on in their second-innings, Surrey were dismissed for 185, with Lyons scoring 8 runs before he was dismissed by Billy Barnes. Nottinghamshire won by an innings and 65 runs.[2] This was his only major appearance for Surrey. He died at Brighton, Sussex, on 30 March 1931. References
