Robert Montagu Poore CIE DSO (20 March 1866 – 14 July 1938) was a cricketer and British army officer who, whilst serving in South Africa in 1896, played in three Test matches for the South African cricket team.
Much of his cricket was played when he held the rank of major, but he eventually became a brigadier-general. "Of all the people in the history of the game," wrote Leo Cooper in an introduction to A.
A.Thomson's Odd Men In, "he seems to stand for the Eccentric Ideal."
