John Harry Hampshire (born February 10, 1941 Thurnscoe, Yorkshire), better known as Jackie Hampshire, was an English cricketer who played only a handful of Tests and ODI's for England. He also played first-class cricket for 20 years for Yorkshire and then, after leaving during one of the county's perennial bouts of civil war, for Derbyshire and Leicestershire. Overseas, he was a successful captain of Tasmania in the period before the state was included in the Sheffield Shield.
[edit] Playing career
On his Test match debut against the West Indies at Lord's, he made a great 107 and he looked to be in for a glittering Test career with England. He was the first Englishman to score a Test hundred on debut at Lord's. Strangely he was dropped after the next match, and he seemingly faded away from the Test arena, making only half-a-dozen more Test appearances for England.
[edit] Umpiring Career
After retiring from the playing arena, Hampshire became a county umpire in 1985. He was then appointed to the Test list in 1989, and later in 1999 he was added to the ICC panel of umpires.
