Percy Hutton

William Frederick Percy Hutton (2 October 1876 – 1 October 1951), known as Percy Hutton, was an Australian cricketer who played a single first-class match for South Australia during the 1905–06 Sheffield Shield season. A wicket-keeper, he was only to keep wicket for a small portion of the game, after being injured early. Later in life, Hutton also won golf and lawn bowls tournaments, including some national events in the latter sport. Outside of sports, he was prominent in South Australian agricultural circles, holding a position with the Australian Wheat Board. He was also a councillor for the City of Unley.

Born in Mintaro, in the Clare Valley of South Australia, Hutton attended state school in Naracoorte, leaving at the age of 14 to work at a flour mill. A wicket-keeper who played for Sturt at district level, his only first-class cricket match came against New South Wales in December 1905, played over three days at the Adelaide Oval. Hutton scored 22 not out batting ninth in South Australia's first innings, which included a 34-run last-wicket partnership with Leopold Hanson. While keeping wicket in New South Wales' first innings, he was hit by a fast ball from Hanson and had to leave the field, with his replacement, the Test batsman Algy Gehrs, effecting a stumping later in the innings. Hutton recorded eight runs in South Australia's second innings total of 115 all out, with the team losing the match by an innings and 82 runs.
