Notes:
Percy played football for the Guy's First XI in 1899. From match reports we learn that "Peall has absolutely no dash, rarely middles on the run, and should pass to the inside right with a long lift rather than risking a wild shoot from the wing." (Guy's Hospital Gazette 18 February 1899 p91)
