Herbert Gladstone Coe Gibbons (12 March 1905 – 13 January 1963) was an English first-class cricketer.
Gibbons was born at Tilehurst in March 1905. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Warwickshire at Edgbaston in the 1925 County Championship. He played irregularly for Hampshire until 1928, making a further six appearances.[1] He scored 70 runs in his seven matches with a highest score of 27,[2] while with his leg break googly bowling he went wicketless, having bowled a total of sixteen overs.[3] Gibbons had been a detective constable with the Southampton City Police since the early 1930s,[4] with him continuing to serve as a police officer in the Second World War, during which he partook in exhibition matches for the police.[5] Gibbons died at Southampton in January 1963.
