Walter Stubbings

Walter Stubbings (4 September 1870 28 November 1949) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire in 1900.

Stubbings was born in Whitwell, Derbyshire, the son of James Stubbings, a mason, and his wife Ann. He made just one first-class appearance for the Derbyshire side, in a match against Essex during the 1900 season. Stubbings bowled uneconomically, and his only batting contribution was a second innings tally of 9 not out.

Stubbings' brother, James, fourteen years his senior, played in five first-class matches during the 1880s.

Stubbings died in Wakefield at the age of 79.
