Jump to
Edward Desmond Russell Eagar (born 8 December 1917 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire; died 13 September 1977 at Kingsbridge, Devon) was an English cricketer who as secretary and captain of Hampshire was instrumental, through organisation, captaincy and recruitment, in raising the county team from perennial also-rans to the point where, in the seasons after he retired from playing, it was runner-up and then, in 1961, the champions in the County Championship for the first time in its history. As a cricketer, he was a right-handed middle-order batsman who bowled occasional slow left-arm orthodox spin, and a fearless fielder at short leg.
