Tony Robert Jakobson (born 17 December 1937) is an English former first-class cricketer.
Jakobson was born at Marylebone in December 1937. He was educated at Charterhouse School, before going up to University College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Free Foresters at Oxford in 1960. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1961, making a total of fourteen appearances.[2] Playing primarily as a right-arm fast-medium bowler, he took a total of 37 wickets in his fourteen first-class matches at an average of 32.00 and best figures of 5 for 61, which represented his only five wicket haul.[3] As a batsman, he scored 112 runs with a high score of 20.[4]
