John Bone (born December 19, 1930 in Hartlepool , † January 2002 ibid) was an English football player .

Career

Bone belonged to the third division Hartlepools United as an amateur around 1950 , but did not get beyond missions in the reserve team. In the 1950/51 season he played in the Wearside League for Wingate Welfare , before joining the first division AFC Sunderland together with his teammate Ronnie Bradley in May 1951 . After he had to act at the start of the season in an internal team training game against center forward Dickie Davis , Bones were certified by the press as having "many excellent qualities", in particular his tackle strength in the air and his two-footed ability. In order to justify comparisons with the former national player Jack Hill , who had fiery red hair like Bone, he had to combine "good ball distribution with these skills." Despite this advance praise, it took until November 1954, partly because of his military service, before Bone came in a 1-1 draw against Leicester City to his competitive debut for Sunderland in the First Division , shortly before he had played for the first time in two friendly matches against the Scottish club Falkirk and Heart of Midlothian for the first time.

In the result, Bone had mostly with inserts in the reserve team in the North Eastern League content in the first team he was on the center half position only the role of the substitute's behind Fred Hall , the Welsh national team Ray Daniel and the Scottish international George Aitken . He came to a series of four missions from the end of March 1956 to mid-April 1956 when he was preferred to Daniel and scored in the home games against Tottenham Hotspur (3-2) and Manchester United (2-2). After he had made two competitive appearances in the first team for the last time in the 1956/57 season , he was finally put on the transfer list in spring 1958 after a total of eleven competitive appearances.

In July 1958 he moved to Cambridge City in the Southern League , in 1961 he joined the league rivals FC King's Lynn .
