SUMMARY

A left-arm pace bowler and a left-handed batsman, Johnny King served Leicestershire with distinction for over 30 seasons. Figuring in 552 first-class games, King took 1204 wickets to go with 25000-plus runs with the bat. On slow tracks, he often employed leg-spin and varied his pace intelligently.

He played a lone Test for England in 1909. King scored 60 in the first innings and picked up 1 wicket. After his playing career, King turned to umpiring.
