Thomas Frederick Revill (9 May 1892 – 29 March 1979) was an English cricketer and footballer.

Football career[]

He began with youth sides in his native Bolsover before joining Chesterfield in 1911. He scored 19 goals in 17 Midland League games for Chesterfield, and was transferred to Stoke for £200 in February 1912.[1] He returned to Bolsover in 1914 to play for the local colliery team and turned out with Chesterfield as a war guest during the 1915–16 and 1916–17 seasons. He made 74 appearances for Stoke scoring 24 goals.[2]

Cricket career[]

Revill was born at Bolsover, Derbyshire. He made his debut for Derbyshire against Somerset in July 1913 and played one more match that season. After World War I he returned to Derbyshire for eight matches in 1919 and made his top score of 65 not out against Northamptonshire. He played just one game in 1920.

Revill was a left-hand batsman and played 20 innings in 11 first-class matches with an average of 14.43 and a top score of 65 not out. He was a leg-break and googly bowler, but did not perform in the first-class game.[3]

Revill died at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire at the age of 86. His son Alan Revill also played cricket for Derbyshire.
