Percy Christopherson

Percy Christopherson (31 March 1866 – 4 May 1921)[1] was an English sportsman who played rugby union as a threequarter for Blackheath and represented England at international level.

All three matches ended in losses for Oxford, and in the final season, under Christopherson's captaincy, the university team entered the Varsity encounter with a poor record; having lost as many games as they had won.

The next season, Christopherson was selected by the Rugby Football Union to represent England in the opening game of the 1891 Home Nations Championship.

[5] Despite a promising start, Christopherson was not part of the team that travelled to Ireland a month later; being replaced by fellow Barbarian Piercy Morrison.

[8] In July 1887 Christopherson made his first-class cricket debut for Kent against Sussex, playing alongside his brother Stanley.
