Geoffrey Norman Foster (16 October 1884 – 11 August 1971) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Worcestershire and Kent County Cricket Clubs, as well as appearing a number of times for Oxford University and MCC. He was one of the seven Foster brothers, all of whom played first-class cricket for Worcestershire, and he led the county on a few occasions in the absence of the regular captain. He was a fast scorer, once making 101 in an hour for Oxford against Gentlemen of England.[1]
