Westminster , London,England – 13 January 1969 inHendon ,Greater London , England) was acricket er who played forMiddlesex County Cricket Club from 1926 to 1947. Price also stood as an umpire from 1950 to 1967. He played in one Test match and officiated as an umpire in eight.Price was a
wicket-keeper who took 648 catches and 316 stumpings in his first-class career. He was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1940.Price was unfortunate to be around in the same era as
Les Ames , which limited Price's opportunities for an international career. He toured abroad twice, once with the HonourableFreddie Calthorpe 's side in 1929/30, when he went as a replacement forRony Stanyforth , and then on a non-Test tour to South America in 1937/8.Price's reputation as an umpire was as someone who would stand up strongly for what he felt was right. He once no-balled
Tony Lock , the Surrey and England spin bowler for throwing against India. He also lay down at square-leg, refusing to get up, to stop barracking at a Surrey-Yorkshire game.References
