Not about 'playing' as such - but my very first job in life was at Slazengers near Wakefield in 1954. Didn't seem that interesting at the time - just a job - but today it does sound a bit quaint!
That job was to add up how many cricket bats had been sold every month by Slazenger with the various famous names on them, such as Len Hutton and Don Bradman etc., and pay them their royalties. A little different than the numbers used today you will find! We used to pay the majestic sum of 2.5 (old) pennies - about the equivalent of 1p today for each bat sold. How times have changed!
