Jack Haigh (1928–2007) was an English footballer who played as an inside forward in the Football League. He also played for Rawmarsh Welfare F.C.[1]
Signed by Scunthorpe from Liverpool for £4,000 in August 1952,[2] Haigh earned the nickname the 'Iron Man' after starring in Scunthorpe's FA Cup victory over Newcastle United in January 1958.[3]
He was described by ex-England manager Graham Taylor as "an inside-forward of craft and cunning. Today he would be described as a midfield genius and would be a regular in the England team. He could see and make a pass that no other play could see or make."[4]
Haigh sits sixth on the Scunthorpe United all-time appearance list, with 360 appearances and 71 goals in all competitions.[5] Following his retirement in 1965, Jack and his wife Doris settled in the Balby area of Doncaster, where for many years the couple ran a corner shop.[6]
