Leo Harrison

Leo Harrison was an English first-class cricketer who played for Hampshire from 1939 to 1966. Making his debut in the County Championship before the Second World War, Harrison played initially as a batsman and reserve wicket-keeper to Neil McCorkell, an arrangement which continued until McCorkell's retirement in 1951, and Hampshire's brief experiment with Ralph Prouton as first-choice wicket-keeper, after which Harrison assumed the role of first-choice wicket-keeper after 1953. He played 387 first-class appearances for Hampshire, out of a total of 396 career first-class matches, and was a member of Hampshire's 1961 County Championship winning team.
