Francis Charles Peecock (1864 – 2 May 1920) was a British solicitor and football player.[3]

Solicitor[edit]

On 4 July 1885, Peecock, an articled student to the solicitor (and mayor at the time) Sterling Westhorp, Esq., passed his final examinations.[7]

On 2 March 1893, Peecock became a partner in the soliciting firm, 'Hayward and Sons', thus becoming 'Haywards and Peecock'.[8] The firm was wound up, taking up its former name, on 1 March 1898.[9] Subsequently, he became a partner in the firm of John Manning Prentice, the firm becoming 'Gudgeons, Peecock and Prentice'.[10]

Footballing career[edit]

Peecock spent a large part of his life playing football for Ipswich Association and Stowmarket Association, representing the county of Suffolk on several occasions.[3]

He made his debut for Ipswich Association on 18 October 1879, against Woodbridge Grammar School, scoring one goal in Ipswich's 7-0 victory.[11]

Personal life[edit]

Francis Charles was the fifth son of Mr. John Edward Peecock's children (who had nine children; six sons and three daughters).[12][13][14][5] On 20 June 1899, Peecock married the eldest daughter of John Manning Prentice (died 20 November 1898), Francis Clementine Dora Prentice at Great Blakenham, Suffolk.[5][15]

As a pupil of Queen Elizabeth's School, Ipswich, in August 1880, he attained certificates in Latin, Greek, French, elementary and advanced mathematics, divinity and English Literature, having taken the exams between 12 July and 24 July 1880.[16] He died of complications of influenza.[3]
