Percy Allen (cricketer)

Percy Frederick Allen was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury between 1929 and 1934.
Percy Allen was a batsman who sometimes kept wicket. After his first-class career ended, he often bowled in local cricket. He made one first-class century, 103 for Canterbury against Wellington in the 1933–34 season. It was the highest score in a match that Canterbury won by eight wickets. While many of his strokes were unorthodox, they had considerable power. In the mid-1930s he moved to Greymouth, then to Ashburton, representing the district team in each town.
Allen worked as an insurance agent. He served in the New Zealand Army in World War II as a private.
