English cricketer
James Gilman (17 March 1879 – 14 September 1976) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for London County, Middlesex and Cambridge University from 1900 to 1904.
Gilman was educated at St Paul's School in London and Jesus College, Cambridge. An electrical engineer, he served as a major in the Royal Army Service Corps in World War One.
At 97 years and 182 days when he died in 1976, Gilman was Middlesex's longest-lived player until Rusi Cooper overtook his record in 2020. The 1977 edition of "Wisden" carried, as well as Gilman's obituary, an interview he had given a few weeks before he died on his memories of playing alongside W. G. Grace for London County.
