John Frank Eden Santall, sometimes known as Jack Santall (3 December 1907 – 24 May 1986) was an English cricketer who played eight first-class matches for Worcestershire, all in the space of just over a month in 1930. Santall was never a conspicuous success with the county: in 13 innings he only thrice reached double figures (his best being the unbeaten 36 he hit against Lancashire), and with the ball he never added to the 2–29 he took in the first innings of his debut against Essex; the first of his two victims was Stan Nichols and the other Joe Hipkin. After such a failure, Santall walked away from cricket, instead turning his attentions to ice-skating, in which sport he proved good enough to turn professional; he also worked as a skating instructor.〔Obituary, ''The Cricketer'', May 1987.〕 Santall was born in King's Heath, Birmingham; he died at the age of 78 in Bournemouth. Two of John's relations had long careers with Warwickshire: his father Sydney took more than 1,200 wickets before the First World War, coaching the club and acting as county historian,〔Obituary, ''The Cricketer''〕 while his brother Reg scored more than 17,000 runs for them between the wars. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Santall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
