Born in the St Austell area in 1875, Albert Percival Truscott was a pupil at Park House school when he captained the Exeter Association club during the 1891/92 season. Formed by Henry Tucker, the school's headteacher, the club built upon the efforts of the previous winter when Mr Tucker had organised a number of informal games. Although this was to be a more prolonged effort, the club fizzled out after its first season and was succeeded by a second club of the same name that operated between 1893 and 1896. The team of 1891/92 played its home games at Matford Lane in St Leonard's close to Mr Tucker's school.

Mr Truscott appears to have died aged thirty in County Durham in 1905.
