Guy Mitchell Shuttleworth (6 November 1926 – 21 January 2021) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University from 1946 to 1948. He was also a football player, and became a teacher.

Life and career

Shuttleworth attended Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Blackburn, before going up to King's College, Cambridge.[1] His highest score in first-class cricket was 96 for Cambridge against Sussex in 1948, when he and Doug Insole added 171 for the sixth wicket in two hours.[2][3] He played for East Lancashire in the Lancashire League from 1944 to 1950[4] and played eight matches for Lancashire 2nd XI from 1946 to 1948.

Shuttleworth was also a soccer player, winning a Blue at Cambridge and later playing for Corinthian-Casuals F.C.[5] In 1949 he won an amateur international cap for England.[6]

He became a schoolmaster, teaching at St Peter's School, York. The school now awards an annual Guy Shuttleworth Cup for attitude and effort in sport.[7]

Shuttleworth died at the age of 94 on 21 January 2021. He and his wife Tanya had a son and a daughter.[6] One of their grandchildren is the Chelsea and England international footballer Ben Chilwell.
