- Gilbert Frank Hodgkinson (19 February 1913 — 7 January 1987) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who played for Derbyshire between 1935 and 1946 and captained the team in 1946. Hodgkinson was born at Derby and ran a greengrocery business, having as a result little time to spare for the sport. He made three first-team appearances for the Derbyshire team in 1935 and one in 1937, otherwise playing mainly in second team games in the pre-war period. During his time with the club Hodgkinson was an upper-middle-order batsman. Considered "never anything more than a good club cricketer", his reputation was to rise somewhat when, in the first County Championship season after the end of the War, he was made club captain. He was a first-team choice throughout the entire 1946 season, although his average suffered in this new role. Derbyshire ended the season third from bottom of the table. He stopped playing for Derbyshire but played one game for North Wales in 1947. Hodgkinson died at The Pastures, Mickleover, Derbyshire, at the age of 74.
