Leslie Gale
Leslie Edward Gale was an English first-class cricketer. He was a slow bowler who played fourteen matches for Worcestershire in the 1920s, 11 in 1923 and 1924, then a gap before another three in 1928.
Gale's most successful match was his first-class debut in early May 1923, when he claimed 5-49 in the first innings against Warwickshire. He never again took more than two wickets in a first-class innings; indeed, this single innings performance garnered him as many wickets as the entire remainder of his Worcestershire career.
After the end of his first-class career, Gale played minor counties cricket for Staffordshire in the 1930s, primarily as a top-order batsman.
Gale was born in Solihull; he died in Dudley at the age of 77.
