  • All of his first-class games were for Yorkshire.
  • Allen also played forty three Minor Counties Cricket Championship for Yorkshire Second XI.A huge man with hands to match, he was a capable wicket-keeper and hard-hitting batsman who was reserve to Arthur Dolphin, and was considered the favourite to take over from that player in 1928.
  • However, Arthur Wood was preferred, so Allen continued to play in League cricket, mainly with Castleford Cricket Club for whom he first appeared in 1919.
