Amateur goalkeeper John lived at Heston and worked on the technical staff of Ealing Council. He had started with Brentford and was about to sign professional terms when the club launched an economy drive, so he joined Wimbledon.

He played in the reserves and made several appearances in the Premier Midweek Floodlight League in 1966/67.

After just two and a half seasons, he was Hayes’ longest-serving player, and had been picked for the Athenian League representative side. He made a total of 95 appearances for Hayes before joining Kingstonian. In August 1974 he moved on to Sutton United, when Ian Bath joined Kingstonian. He played for Woking in March 1977, and for Kingstonian again in October 1977. He joined Hillingdon Borough in August 1979 and was still there in March 1981.
