[edit] Cricket

Makepeace played in four Tests for England in the 1920/21 Ashes. His first class career with Lancashire lasted from 1906 to 1930. "I count Makepeace amongst the immortals of Lancashire and Yorkshire cricket," wrote Neville Cardus.[1]

After his retirement from playing, he spent two decades as county coach.[2]

Makepeace made four appearances as a wing-half for the England national football team between 1906 and 1912 whilst on the books of Everton.
