John Thomas Spencer (born 1898) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Hartlepools United and Stoke.[2]
Spencer was born in Stockton-on-Tees and played amateur football with Grangetown St Mary's, Eston United and Crook Town before being spotted by scouts at Football League club Stoke in 1920.[2] He had a reputation as a promising outside right but failed to impress at Stoke as he played 16 times during the 1920–21 season as the club almost suffered relegation.[2] He returned north at the end of the season to South Bank and played a single match for Hartlepools United in September 1922.[2]
