About Cecil Pearson
Lived 1888 – 1971 (aged 83). Cecil Pearson was a British cricketer.
Cecil Joseph Herbert Pearson (22 January 1888 – 14 September 1971) was an English cricketer. A bespectacled cricketer, Pearson was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. He was born in Poplar, London.
Pearson made his only first-class appearance for Glamorgan in the 1922 County Championship against Nottinghamshire. He bowled 4 overs in Nottinghamshire's first-innings, though he didn't take any wickets. In Glamorgan's first-innings, he scored 9 runs before being dismissed by Len Richmond. In their second-innings, he was dismissed for a duck by Fred Barratt, becoming one of Barratt's 8 victims in that innings, as a Glamorgan side in its second season of first-class cricket capitulated to 47 all out, to lose by an innings and 125 runs.
He died in Porthcawl, Glamorgan on 14 September 1971.
