Arthur Woodcock

Arthur Woodcock was a first class cricketer who played in 121 first-class matches for Leicestershire CCC from 1894 to 1908 and appeared for London County in 1900.

During the late 1890s Arthur Woodcock was regarded as the second-fastest bowler in England, shaded only by the legendary Charles Kortright. His 548 wickets at 22.28 included 102 in 1895 and 9 for 28 against MCC at Lord's in 1899. A right handed tail-ender, he averaged 8.31 with a top score of 62 not out. In 1906 he umpired first-class matches.

Arthur Woodcock was born in Northampton on 23 Sep 1865 and died at Billesdon from 'self-administered poison' on 14 May 1910.
