Anthony Vickery (26 August 1925 – 27 May 2013) played first-class cricket for Somerset in 1947 and 1948.[1] He also played Minor Counties cricket for 10 years from 1949 for Cheshire. He was born at Taunton, Somerset.
Vickery played half a dozen matches as a right-handed batsman for Somerset, without much success. His best innings was only 21 and was made batting at No 9 in the second innings of the match against Worcestershire at Worcester in 1947; he had batted at No 3 in the first innings and a week earlier in the home match against the same opponents he had opened in one innings.[2] After graduating from Bristol University, Vickery moved to the north of England, where he played as a heavy-scoring middle-order batsman and a regular bowler for Cheshire until 1959.
