Percy Hamilton Farnfield (16 June 1881 – 19 August 1962) was an English cricketer who played a single first-class match, for Worcestershire against Hampshire in August 1925. His short career was singularly unsuccessful, as he was bowled for a duck in his only innings by Frederick Gross.
He also played football for the England amateur national team, appearing in the side in their first-ever (unofficial) match against Germany (a touring side) on 21 September 1901, netting twice in a 12–0 win at White Hart Lane in London.[1] It was to be another five years before an official England amateur team was founded, and Farnfield played in its inaugural match against France on 1 November 1906, which won by England 15–0, and Farnfield again netted a goal.[2]
Farnfield was born in Guildford, Surrey; he died in Solihull, Warwickshire at the age of 81.
