'''John Drennan Eggar''' (1 December 1916 – 3 May 1983) was an English schoolmaster and [[first-class cricket]]er who played for [[Oxford University Cricket Club|Oxford University]] and [[Hampshire County Cricket Club|Hampshire]] in 1938 and for [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club|Derbyshire]] from 1946 to 1954.

Eggar was born in [[Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Nowshera]], [[British India]], the son of John Norman Eggar and his wife Emily Garret. He was educated in England at [[Winchester College]] and then went to [[Brasenose College, Oxford]]. He played cricket for Oxford University holding a stand in the drawn [[The University Match (cricket)|University match]] in 1938. He also played for Hampshire during the 1938 season. During the [[Second World War]] he served in the [[Rifle Brigade]].<ref>The Times Obituary John Eggar Saturday 7 May 1983</ref>

After the war, Eggar became a master at [[Repton School]] and played for [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club|Derbyshire]]. Eggar with [[Guy Willatt]], and [[Dick Sale]] formed a trio of Repton masters who played for the county.<ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article1141513.ece Obituary ''Guy Willatt'' The Times 13 June 2003]</ref> In the [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1947|1947 season]] he shared a record-breaking partnership of 349 with [[Charlie Elliott]] in the year when Derbyshire finished 5th. In the [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1949|1949 season]] he scored 218 in a match against Yorkshire. Eggar played regularly until the [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1950|1950 season]] when Derbyshire were fifth. He had a break until the [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1954|1954 season]] when he played two games and Derbyshire finished in third place in the County Championship. He held a testimonial match at Repton that summer. Two years later he played in a 2nd XI match for Derbyshire. He was a right-handed batsman and played 64 innings in 41 first-class matches. His top score was 219 and his average 31.84. He was a right-arm medium-pace bowler but took only one wicket.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/6/6581/6581.html John Eggar at Cricket Archive]</ref>

In 1963 Eggar became headmaster of newly established [[Shiplake College]]. Under his headmastership, numbers went from 100 to 300. He retired in 1979 and died on a tennis court at [[Hinton St George]], Somerset four years later.<ref>[http://www.ruascc.reading.ac.uk/venues/Shiplake_college.html University of Reading alumni and Staff Cricket Club]</ref>

Eggar's father-in-law was [[John Crommelin-Brown]], another Repton master who played cricket for Derbyshire during the 1920s. His son [[Tim Eggar]] became a [[Member of Parliament]].<ref>[http://www.shiplake.org.uk/aboutus/governors.php Shiplake College Governors]</ref>
