Harold "Mick" Crocker is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the mid-20th century. An Australian international and Queensland interstate representative back-row forward,[3] he played his club career in Brisbane with Souths[4] and in Sydney with Parramatta.
After a successful career as a Queensland and then Australian international representative, in the 1954 pre-season Crocker signed a then record one-season deal for an Australian to move south and play for Sydney club Parramatta in order to assist his family who had lost their home in a fire the previous year.[5] Parramatta finished the season with the wooden spoon however.
