Jack Nock

Jack Nock (1899 – after 1929) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward. He played in the Football League for Cardiff City and Wrexham and had an extensive career in wartime and non-league football.

Career After playing for non-league club Stourbridge, Nock signed for Millwall in October 1915, during World War I. He remained with the club until 1919, making over 50 appearances in wartime competitions, before joining Leicester Fosse. As well as appearing in regional league matches for Fosse, he scored the last goal for the side before they became known as Leicester City during a 1–1 draw with a British Expeditionary Force XI. However, he was not offered a contract by the club when the Football League resumed after the hostilities.

He joined Nuneaton Town in 1920, where he was a regular in the first team for over a year. He had brief spells with Tamworth Castle and Cradley Heath in 1922 before returning to the Football League with Cardiff City. He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw with Sheffield United the following month but made just two further appearances in the following 18 months. In 1924, he joined Wrexham along with Cardiff teammate Jimmy Jones. He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw with Walsall before scoring his first goals with a brace during a 3–1 victory over Durham City in their following home match.

He left Wrexham in 1926, later playing for Burton United, Worcester City, Flint Town United and Oswestry Town.
