Sparrow was born in May 1869 at Alverstoke, Hampshire. Sparrow was a bandsman in the Royal Navy, serving on board HMS Immortalité at Sheerness Dockyard.[1] He later played first-class cricket for Hampshire, making a single appearance against Leicestershire at Southampton in the 1902 County Championship.[2] Batting once in the match, he made a single run in Hampshire's only innings from the middle order, before being dismissed by John King.[3] Sparrow remained in Sheerness after leaving the navy, and would be resident there for thirty years. He died in hospital at Minster in September 1936.[4]
