Alan Hill, born June 29, 1950, in Buxworth, Derbyshire was an English cricketer and umpire who played for Derbyshire and Orange Free State in South Africa. In his cricketing career, the right-handed batsman hit 65 50's and 18 hundreds giving him a career average of 30.89. His occasional off-break bowling took only a modest 9 wickets, however he achieved this with a miserly economy rate of 3.95. Alan Hill is one of only two cricketers to make a century without hitting a boundary, a record that he shares with Paul Hibbert Demonstrating his faultless concentration and patience, he ended making 103 in the match for Orange Free State v Griqualand West (1976-77). After he retired he became an umpire at first-class and List A level, but stopped after only two seasons. He began coaching cricket, working in many schools, and is currently head coach for Newcastle-under-Lyme School.
