Player Profile:

Winger who played for Sittingbourne before being signed by Queens Park Rangers in February 1959.

John spent over two years with QPR but his progress was hindered by a broken leg suffered in the spring of 1960 and he never made a first team appearance before being released in May 1961.

Towards the end of March 1962 John joined Margate and after making one reserve team appearance he made his senior debut on the right wing as Margate lost 1-0 at Rugby on 20.4.62. John kept his place for a 1-0 win at Dover the following day but then returned to the reserves where he scored once in a total of three appearances before leaving the club at the end of the 1961/62 season.

By 1964/65 John was playing for Sheppey and he was part of the side that won the Greater London League Championship that season. Former Margate winger Peter Peters was also a member of the team.

He worked as an insurance man during his time with Sheppey and may also have played for Ilford and won numerous caps for Essex whilst there.
