David Bone Nightingale Jack (born April 3, 1898 in Bolton , † September 10, 1958 in Lambeth ) was an English football player , son of Bob Jack and the first player in the world to change clubs for a transfer fee of more than £ 10,000 .
Athletic career
The striker was born in Bolton and started his career in 1919 at Plymouth Argyle , where his father had already played, and scored 11 goals in 48 games. In 1920 he moved to his home with the Bolton Wanderers for £ 3,500 . For the "Trotters" he completed eight seasons and formed an effective attack formation , especially with Joe Smith . He made history with his goal in the FA Cup final in 1923 as he became the first player to score at Wembley . In the following year he made his debut in the English national team and scored three goals for his country in a total of nine games.
In 1926 he won the FA Cup again with Bolton and was signed two years later by Herbert Chapman - the coach of Arsenal FC - for the then record transfer fee of 10,890 pounds, the record almost doubled. According to historical records, Chapman's transfer was sealed in a legendary negotiation with the Bolton club in a hotel bar. Chapman made his opponents drunk with gin and tonic and renounced the gin himself .
Jack was an immediate addition to Highbury , was a regular from the start and consistently the club's top scorer in the late 1920s and early 1930s. He won three English championships and another FA Cup. His successful career came to an end with the last championship title in 1934 in the 1933/34 season. He scored a total of 124 goals in 208 games for Arsenal, making him the ninth-best goalscorer in the club's history.
After retiring as an active footballer, he switched to the coaching business and was in charge of the Southend United club between May 1934 and August 1940 and Middlesbrough FC from November 1944 to April 1952 .
He died in 1958 at the age of 59.
