context_page_description: Edgar Lubbock LLB was an English amateur footballer who twice won the FA Cup and played first-class cricket. He later became a partner in the Whitbread Brewery, a Director and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England and the Master of the Blankney Foxhounds.
context_section_description: Lubbock was a member of the Eton College cricket XI from 1864 to 1866; after leaving college, he played for various teams including Marylebone Cricket Club, I Zingari and the Gentlemen of Kent. He was described as "a right-handed batsman with an awkward style, (who) bowled left underhand fast".
  In August 1871, he played one match for Kent County Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club. In this match his wicket was taken twice by W.G. Grace. Despite this, Lubbock was his side's top scorer with 54 in the second innings, although the "Gentlemen" won by an innings and 45 runs; His obituary in Wisden commented that it was "surprising that he never assisted the county again".
  In 1872, he was a member of R.A. Fitzgerald's XI who visited North America playing nine matches in little over a month. Over the next few years, he turned out a few times a year, mainly for I Zingari until 1879, although he played one match for I Zingari in June 1891, in which he failed to score and claimed one wicket.
  Several of his brothers also played cricket, including Alfred who was considered on of the best batsmen of the era but only made 28 first-class appearances and Nevile who made six first-class appearances. Both played matches for Kent as well as for a variety of other amateur sides.
