John Wisden

John Wisden was a cricketer active in at least 1851. Immediately following Adric's death, the Fifth Doctor wanted to go to Lord's to see a few over (cricket)'s bowled by him in the match on the opening day of The Great Exhibition. (DW: Time-Flight)

Behind the scenes
Time-Flight does not actually specify his first name, but it's a logical conclusion based on the sum of the dialogue. Wisden would go on to started Wisden Cricketing Almanack — though this, too, is a fact not revealed in a DWU story.
