John Eyres (20March 18992October 1975) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Bristol Rovers, Brighton & Hove Albion, Walsall, York City and Stoke City.[4]
Eyres was associated with Stoke for a period of seven years without really establishing himself in the first team. He had spells with Nantwich Town and Witton Albion before joining Stoke in 1922.[4] His best season in red and white came in 1926–27 which saw Eyres score 12 goals helping Stoke win the Football League Third Division North title.[4] After scoring on average a goal every three games for the "Potters" he was transferred to Walsall in 1929 for a small fee.[4] He did well for the "Saddlers" scoring 37 goals in 89 matches in two seasons. He then spent a season at Brighton & Hove Albion, two at Bristol Rovers and ended his career with York City and non-league Gainsborough Trinity.
