John Lewis (26 August 1919[1] – 2002) was an English professional footballer who played as a half-back in the Football League for Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Reading. He also played non-league football for Kettering Town.
Lewis was born in Walsall and began his youth career with West Bromwich Albion.[1] He signed for Crystal Palace in the 1938 close season and made his debut – and only senior appearance before the league was interrupted by the Second World War – in April 1939 against Bristol Rovers.[1] Lewis became a first team regular in the 1946–47 season, when he was ever-present[1] [2] and made over 30 appearances in each of the next two seasons.[1] His form was such that he was named in a London select XI to play in Brussels in 1948.[1]
However, in November 1949, Lewis was transferred to Bournemouth for £7,500[1] [3] where he remained until July 1951, when he joined Reading.[1] Lewis spent two seasons with Reading before moving into non-league football with Kettering Town.[1]
After retiring as a player, Lewis became a publican.[1]
Jack Lewis died in 2002, aged 82 or 83.[4]
