George Buckland

George Frederick Buckland was a British lacrosse player who won a silver medal with the Great Britain team at the 1908 Summer Olympics. Born in Didsbury, Manchester, on 13 April 1883, he played for Old Hulmeians of Whalley Range, one of the finest lacrosse sides in England at the start of the twentieth century, which won the Iroquois Cup four times between 1907 and 1914. A free-scoring forward, he scored many goals for his club and also for the North, Lancashire and England. He was on the Lancashire sides that won the County Championship in 1906-07, both times against Kent, and in 1913-14, both times against Middlesex. He died in Timperley, England, on 28 January 1937.
