Price was a wicket-keeper who took 648 catches and 316 stumpings in his first-class career.

Price's reputation as an umpire was as someone who would stand up strongly for what he felt was right.

He once no-balled Tony Lock, the Surrey and England spin bowler for throwing against India.

He also lay down at square-leg, refusing to get up, to stop barracking at a Surrey-Yorkshire game.
