About Jack Day

Lived 1924 – 2015 (aged 91). Jack Day was a British association football player.

Jackie Norman "Jack" Day (21 January 1924 – 22 September 2015) was an English professional footballer. He played as a goalkeeper

Career Born in Northfleet, Day played for the local youth club before joining amateur club Erith & Belvedere in 1941. After the Second World War he joined Gillingham of the Kent League, but made only two first team appearances, the second against his hometown club Gravesend & Northfleet in December 1947, after the club had moved up to the Southern League. He had a short spell with Walthamstow Avenue of the Isthmian League before joining Shrewsbury Town of the Midland League. Day, however, broke his arm in a reserve team match at the end of the season and this, combined with the signing of new goalkeeper Larry Gage, limited his first team chances during the 1950–51 season. He made his Football League debut against Aldershot in April 1951, but it was to be his only league appearance.
