Percy Bullock was born in 1906 at Henley Road, Cambridge, the youngest of 13 children. He left school at 14 and served an apprenticeship with Banham’s boatbuilders and became the boatman for Jesus College in 1924 at the age of 17.

He displayed a tremendous skill for his craft, keeping the boats beautifully turned out, as well as becoming an inspirational coach for the Jesus College crews. Percy kept the Steve Fairbairn traditions alive after Fairbairn's death in 1938 and infused his own gentle but firm manner into his coaching style. His unique style led to a successful career with thirteen out of fifty-three crews winning their oars and international rowing success in Norway and America. The Norwegian national crew won a bronze medal in the 1948 Olympics under Percy’s tuition, with the Kent School, Connecticut, enjoying Henley success.

He married Dorothy in 1930 and had one son they called Derek.

During the war Percy was drafted to Marshall’s aerodrome where he contributed to the building and repairing of the wooden-based Mosquito aircraft. During this time, he also managed to coach sixteen Jesus crews, nine of whom won their oars, and maintain the boathouse to his usual high standards.

He retired in 1971 but kept a keen interest in Jesus College Boat Club, opening the doors of his home to many visitors.

He died on 29 October 1988 and his memorial service was held in Jesus College Chapel.
