An off-spinner, 'Percy' Pocock is probably best known for taking 7 wickets in 11 balls for Surrey vs. Sussex in 1972. He captained Surrey in his final season in 1986, having made his debut for them as long ago as 1964. He finished with 1607 first-class wickets at 26.53, with best innings figures of 9/57.
