John James Robinson (28 June 1872 – 3 January 1959(1959-01-03) (aged 86)) was an English sportsman who played rugby union for the England national rugby union team and for Cambridge University, and also played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and for Cambridge University.
The son of a brewer, Robinson was educated at Appleby Grammar School near Atherstone in Warwickshire and at St John's College, Cambridge.
[2] In his first year at Cambridge University he appears not to have played rugby, but he was chosen for the freshmen's match cricket trial, and scored 11 and 58, batting in the lower-order.
He returned to cricket in 1893, finally playing a single first-class game for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against the university side, a ploy sometimes used by Cambridge to try out new players; he scored 15 and 12 not out but still did not earn a call-up to the university side.
He did not play any further first-class cricket after leaving Cambridge University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1894.
