John Hampshire (5 October 1913 – 23 May 1997)[1] was an English first-class cricketer, who played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1937.[2] A right-arm fast bowler, he played three first-class matches, scoring 5 runs at an average of 2.50, and took five wickets at 21.80, plus one catch.[1][2]
Born in Goldthorpe, Bolton-on-Dearne, Yorkshire, England, he created a cricketing family.
