Tom Pugh

Tom Pugh

Charles Thomas Michael Pugh (born London 13 March 1937) was an English cricketer.

Tom Pugh was educated at Eton and was a right-handed batsman who played in 80 first-class matches between 1959 and 1962, including 76 for Gloucestershire whom he captained between 1961 and 1962. He shared a record second wicket stand for Gloucestershire of 256 with Tom Graveney versus Derbyshire at Chesterfield in 1960, scoring 137. In the 1960 season as a whole, he scored 1,011 runs at an average of 21.51.

At the end of that same season, Pugh was controversially appointed captain of Gloucestershire, replacing Graveney, who promptly resigned from the county and joined Worcestershire. Pugh's first season as captain in 1961 was spoilt by injury: he broke his jaw and missed 18 games. In 1962, he played in every match, but his batting returns were modest, and he averaged only 15 in County Championship matches. He stood down from the captaincy at the end of the 1962 season and never appeared again in first-class cricket.

He was a nephew of a former Lancashire captain Peter Eckersley. He represented Middlesex Young Cricketers and was recommended to Gloucestershire by Percy Fender.
