John Devine (9 July 1933 - May 2017) was an English footballer who played as a winger and made a professional appearance with Chester.
Devine played for Rhyl until joining Chester in 1955, with goalkeeper John Griffiths making the same move.[1] But whereas Griffiths was to make more than 50 league appearances for the club, Devine was to be restricted to a solitary first team outing. It came on 30 March 1956 in a 2–0 home win over Halifax Town, with Devine wearing the number seven shirt in place of regular George Allman.[2]
He later returned to non–league football when he joined New Brighton.[3]
