He left school in 1939 and in 1941 joined the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, and was posted in Egypt. While there he set up a cricket team. Once he returned from the war, he was unable to join the Yorkshire team so played for Surrey and represented England. At Old Trafford in 1956 during the Ashes Test match with Australia he famously took 19 wickets out of 20 (Tony Lock who played for Surry took the other) enabling England to win the Ashes. It is known as the Laker Test match, and is still a record for most wickets taken by one bowler in a first cass cricket match.
