Philip Cooper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philip Edward Cooper was a first class cricketer who played one match for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. This right handed batsman has the distinction of going through his entire first class career without scoring a run, bowling a ball or taking his catch.

He recorded his 'pair' against Middlesex at Bramall Lane in August 1910, a match won by the visitors by 123 runs. He was more successful in the second team clash against Surrey in Rotherham the same month, scoring 27 as Yorkshire Seconds eased to an innings win.

He was born on February 19, 1885 in Rotherham and was later known as Edward Whiteoak-Cooper. He died, aged 65, on May 21, 1950 in Hoveton, Norfolk.
