Patsy Hendren
Elias Henry Hendren (5 February 1889 – 4 October 1962), known as
Patsy Hendren, was an English
first-class cricketer, active 1907 to 1937, who played for
Middlesex and
England. He also had a concurrent career as a
footballer and had a long tenure with
Brentford F.C. He was born in
Turnham Green and died in
Tooting Bec. A right-handed
batsman who occasionally
bowled off breaks, Hendren was one of the most prolific batsmen of the inter-war period,
averaging 47.63 in his 51
Test matches and 50.80 in all his first-class matches. He has the third highest first-class run aggregate of 57,611 runs (after
Jack Hobbs and
Frank Woolley), and his total of 170
centuries ranks second only to Hobbs, who was a personal friend. Hendren was a noted wit, a keen
practical joker and had a talent for
mimicry.
