Who was Dick Spooner?

Richard Thompson Spooner was an English cricketer, who played for Warwickshire and England.

A latecomer who did not play first-class cricket until he was 28, Spooner was a quick-witted left-handed batsman who could open the innings or bat further down the order, and a reliable wicket-keeper whose opportunities at Test level were limited because he was an exact contemporary of Godfrey Evans.
