Gerald Edward Victor Crutchley (19 November 1890 – 17 August 1969) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Middlesex County Cricket Club and Oxford University between 1910 and 1930.
Crutchley was born at Chelsea, the son of Major-General Sir Charles Crutchley.[1][2] He was educated at Harrow School and New College, Oxford before working as a stockbroker in the City of London. As a cricketer he was a right-handed batsman who bowled leg-breaks and medium pace and who played more than 120 first-class cricket matches. He had played for his school XI and won a cricket Blue at Oxford, playing for the University between 1910 and 1912. He made 99 runs not out against Cambridge in 1912; overnight he was taken ill with measles and had to sit out the rest of the match.[3]
He made his Middlesex debut in 1910 but played only a handful of matches for the county side before World War I. After the war he played more regularly, both for Middlesex and for a variety of amateur sides, including for the Gentlemen against the Players four times.[4] He was a member of the Committee at Middlesex and President from 1958 to 1962.[5]
Crutchley was commissioned in the Scots Guards during World War I and was a Prisoner of War from January 1915 until he returned to England in November 1918.[3]
He died of heart failure at St John's Wood in 1969 aged 78.[2] He was the father of the actress Rosalie Crutchley.[6]
