Career
Santall was never a conspicuous success with the county: in 13 innings he only thrice reached double figures (his best being the unbeaten 36 he hit against Lancashire), and with the ball he never added to the 2–29 he took in the first innings of his debut against Essex. The first of his two victims was Stan Nichols and the other Joe Hipkin. After such a failure, Santall walked away from cricket, instead turning his attentions to ice-skating, in which sport he proved good enough to turn professional.
He also worked as a skating instructor.
Santall was born in King"s Heath, Birmingham. He died at the age of 78 in Bournemouth.
