Alan Geoffrey Thomas Whitehead (born 28 October 1940 in Butleigh, Somerset) is a former first-class cricketer and umpire.
Whitehead played 38 first-class matches for Somerset as a slow left-arm bowler and left-handed tail-end batsman between 1957 and 1961.
[1] In 1958, he played in only three matches and failed to take a wicket, Eric Bryant being preferred as the left-arm spin option to bowl alongside off-spinner Brian Langford.
[4] Whitehead played for Somerset regularly again in the first half of the 1960 season, but he took only 17 wickets at the high average of 43.13.
In 1961, Atkinson was available to Somerset for the whole season, and Whitehead played only one first-team match: in this game, he distinguished himself for the only time in his career with the bat, hanging on with fellow "non-batsman" Ken Biddulph for 35 minutes without scoring at the end of the game to earn Somerset a draw.
