Powerfully-built local player who joined Margate for the 1971/72 season as a 16 year-old. John played regularly for the reserves during the campaign and also made four first team appearances. He made his debut in a Kent Floodlight Cup tie at Folkestone on 15.3.72 and although Margate lost 3-0 John gave what the local press described as an "outstanding" performance at centre-back. He was also praised for his "cool defensive play". Two of John's other appearances were at right-back and in a 1-0 win at Dover in the Kent Floodlight Cup on 12.4.72 he was said to have given "repeated evidence of his skill" and been "outstanding" again.
During the 1972/73 season John continued to be a regular in the reserves and he also made one further first team appearance, playing in a Kent Floodlight Cup tie at Hastings on 15.11.72 that Margate lost 6-0.
He stayed with the club for the 1973/74 campaign but played exclusively for the reserves, even turning out as a goalkeeper for them on occasions.
John then dropped into local amateur football but rejoined Margate in March 1977 and made three first team appearances (one as sub) before the end of the 1976/77 season. However at the end of the campaign he left the club and returned to local football.
John was still playing locally during the 1983/84 season.
His son Ian joined Margate during the 2002/03 season.
