Famous Cricketers No 4 - F.E.Woolley

through illness, Woolley eventually found himself the regular opener, a position he held for the rest of his career with Kent. He responded in fine fashion notably during a splendid Dover Week - his 193 in four hours set up a memorable victory against Sussex, while he was well to the fore in the even more remarkable win over Gloucestershire. With “Tich” Freeman retired, he bowled more frequently than for some seasons and not without success. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 921.
