John Goulstone

John Goulstone (born c.1940) is a cricket researcher and historian.

He began his researches in the 1950s while still in his teens, with early research leading to the discovery of a portrait of legendary Georgian bowler Edward "Lumpy" Stevens and the partial scorecard of the match in 1769 in which John Minshull scored the earliest known century in cricket history, although the match in question seems to have been a minor fixture.

Mr Goulstone subsequently worked on The Cricket Quarterly with Rowland Bowen and his own Sports Quarterly Magazine (1977) .

Mr Goulstone's books include :

* Early Club and Village Cricket (1972)
* Early Kent Cricketers (1973)
* Hambledon - The Men and the Myths (2001)
* A Cricketing Etymology (2001)

Early Kent Cricketers includes research about cricketers in the 17th century.
