He was an all-rounder, a right-handed middle-order batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler as well as being a fine slip fielder.
He played for Surrey from 1960 to 1976, winning the County Championship with them in 1971, and subsequently appeared for Sussex in 1978.
[1] He finished his first-class cricket career with over 10,000 runs, almost 500 wickets and more than 300 catches.
Sussex beat Somerset by five wickets, but Storey's contribution to their victory was minor; he did not bowl and scored 0 not out.
[3] This paralleled his experience when Surrey won the Benson and Hedges Cup during his last full season with them in 1974.
In the Final at Lord's Surrey beat Leicestershire by 27 runs, but Storey scored only 2 and did not bowl.
[4] Storey played in three matches in 1960, his debut season, but scored a total of only 11 runs and did not bowl.
The following year (1965) Storey did not manage a century in his 33 matches, but his average for his 1052 runs improved to 25.65 and he reached fifty on seven occasions.
He had what would remain his best figures in an innings of 8/22 against Glamorgan at Swansea, including a hat-trick, and took 11 wickets in the match.
He had an analysis of 5/35 against Middlesex in helping Surrey to an easy win in their quarter-final tie.
Surrey suffered a heavy defeat by Middlesex in their only Gillette Cup match, but Storey bowled his 12 overs for only 25 runs and then top-scored with 40, his highest innings to date in the competition.
The season saw the introduction of the John Player League, so that he played in as many as 15 List A matches.
His best figures came in a Gillette Cup tie against Glamorgan (seemingly his favourite opponents) and won him the man of the match award: 12 overs, 5 maidens, 13 runs, 3 wickets.
[11] Surrey won the County Championship in 1971 for the first time since 1958, and Storey made a major contribution with the bat and also regained some form with the ball.
It came in the third-to-last match of the season, against Derbyshire, when Surrey badly needed a win to strengthen their challenge for the title.
Surrey needed quick runs in their second innings, and Storey top-scored again, with 41 out of 187 for 8 declared.
He again bowled usefully in one-day cricket (though his batting was negligible), with 21 wickets in 17 matches at 21.61, conceding 3.69 runs per over.
With the reduction in the number of first-class matches to accommodate the increasing one-day programme, he never reached 1,000 runs in a season after 1971.
However, the Surrey dressing room was not a happy place at the time, and that may have been a factor in his decision.
