Frederick Hassan
English cricketer (1859-1940)
Frederick Hassan (1859 – 15 April 1940) was an Egyptian-born English cricketer who played in one first-class cricket match for Kent County Cricket Club in 1879.
Hassan was born at Cairo in 1859. By 1876 he was living in the Dartford area of Kent and is known to have played for Dartford Albion Cricket Club in that year. He played as a bowler and produced some "impressive bowling performances".
In 1878 Hassan played for Erith against the touring United South of England Eleven, taking two wickets. The following year he took five wickets for Kent Colts against The Mote and, three weeks later, played his only first-class match, appearing for Kent against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in mid-June. He took one wicket in the match, but did not score a run in either Kent innings in a low scoring match that Kent lost.
Although he did not play any further first-class cricket, Hassan, by this time living in East Ham, appeared in matches for South Essex in 1883 and for the Players of Essex in 1884. From 1886 he played regularly for Beckton Cricket Club, one of the strongest clubs in East London.
Hassan worked as an engineer and fitter and later as a sampler in the chemical industry.
