ROBERT CLIFFORD

'Robert Clifford' (born 8 March 1752 at Bearsted in Kent; died 18 April 1811 at Bearsted) was a noted English cricket all-rounder who played mainly for Kent from 1777 to 1792. He made 74 known first-class appearances.
Little is known about Robert Clifford apart from what the scorecards tell us. He is believed to have bowled right arm slow although he was a left handed bat. In ''Early Kent Cricketers'', he is described as "the famous Clifford" from a report in a Kent county newspaper.
