John "Johnny" Hoiles (born 11 August 1938) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Hoiles, who was a blacksmith, played as a key defender for Footscray, after starting his career as a ruckman.[1] He was used as a centre half-back in the 1961 VFL Grand Final, which Footscray lost to Hawthorn.[2]
From midway through the 1959 VFL season until the end of the 1964 season, Hoiles put together 101 consecutive games.[2] He didn't extend the streak further in 1965 and instead signed with Ovens & Murray Football League (OMFL) side Corowa, as captain-coach.[3] Following his stint as coach, Hoiles played in Corowa's 1968 premiership, their first since 1932.
Hoiles went onto be captain / coach of Leitchville in the Northern District Football League in 1969.
He has a son, also named John, who played for Geelong during the 1980s.
