John 'Jack' Smart was a professional footballer who played for Bristol Rovers and Reading in the early twentieth century. He was born in Kingswood in what is now South Gloucestershire and after starting out with Bristol East went on to play 105 games for Bristol Rovers in the Southern League, scoring twice.
