EspañolPETER WYNNE-THOMAS
'Peter Wynne-Thomas' (born Manchester, Lancashire 30 July 1934) is an English cricket archivist, writer, historian and statistician.
Peter Wynne-Thomas trained as an architectural consultant. From what began as a hobby, he became a respected cricket historian and researcher. In 1971, he won The Cricket Society's literary award with his ''Nottinghamshire Cricketers 1821-1914''.
During the 1960s, he worked with Rowland Bowen on "The Cricket Quarterly" and it is believed that Bowen wanted him to succeed as editor. Bowen changed his thinking later, because he could not bear to think of anyone else in charge, and the quarterly ceased to publish.
As well as his many publications, Peter Wynne-Thomas has been a leading light in the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians (ACS) since it was founded in 1973. He was the original treasurer until 1974 and the secretary until he retired in 2006. As secretary he contributed countless ideas to the society's development. In addition to a full quota of the planning, research, writing and typesetting, he also checked, sub-edited and did the artwork for many publications in some degree or other. He won the ACS ''Statistician of the Year'' award in 1990 and has been awarded a honorary life membership.
He has served Nottinghamshire CCC as a general committee member, archivist and librarian. He ran the ''Sport-in-Print'' bookshop (opposite the Trent Bridge Inn) from December 1987 (and provided an office for the ACS) until its sale in March 2006. The ACS purchased the premises as its headquarters in 1993.
