John Michael Mackenzie Hooper (23 April 1947 – 2 April 2010) was an English cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket for Surrey from 1967 to 1972.
Mike Hooper was a champion schoolboy cricketer at Charterhouse, and played for English combined schools sides in 1964 and 1965.[1] He was the leading scorer when an MCC Schools team toured South Africa in 1965–66.[2]
Hooper began playing for Surrey in 1967. When Surrey won the Second Eleven Championship in 1968 he scored 805 runs at an average of 53.66,[3] including 168 in an innings victory over Kent.[4] In 10 matches in the County Championship that year, however, he scored only 164 runs at an average of 11.71.[5]
Hooper played irregularly for Surrey thereafter without scoring a fifty. After the 1971 season he left cricket to work in the City of London.[6] He continued to play club cricket, and helped Charterhouse Friars win the Cricketer Cup on three occasions.[6] He toured Bangladesh with MCC in 1976-77. His son, Harry, also played first-class cricket.
