About Clement Gibson

Lived 1900 – 1976 (aged 76). Clement Gibson was an Argentine cricketer.

Clement Herbert Gibson (23 August 1900 – 31 December 1976) twice won fleeting fame as a cricketer.

Gibson was born in Argentina, the second son of Sir Herbert Gibson, 1st Baronet, of Linconia and Faccombe. In 1918, in the absence of first-class cricketers to choose from because cricket was suspended during the First World War, Wisden picked Gibson, a fast-medium swing bowler from Eton College, as one of its Cricketers of the Year, along with four other "public school bowlers". He was captain of cricket at Eton in both 1918 and 1919.

After Eton, Gibson went up to Clare College, Cambridge.

After Cambridge, he toured Australia and New Zealand on an unofficial Marylebone Cricket Club tour led by MacLaren. He also represented Argentina in matches against touring sides.

He died, aged 76, in Buenos Aires.
