John Brackstone (born 9 February 1985 in Hartlepool) is a professional footballer who currently plays as a left back for Hartlepool United in League One. He is also known as a set-piece specialist.
John Brackstone came through Hartlepool’s Youth Development programme, following in the footsteps of Antony Sweeney, Jim Provett and Adam Boyd. Brackstone played regularly for the reserves but broke his leg during the 2002/2003 season. However he recovered and impressed the then manager Neale Cooper enough to give him an opportunity in the first team, his debut being against Blackpool in 2003. Brackers went on to make more first team appearances and scored his first goal from a free kick against Whitby Town in the F.A. Cup during the same season. Despite being a fringe first team player, Brackstone was allowed to take part in the Youth Team that won the Dallas Cup in 2004. However in 2004, in-growing toenail problems and Glandular Fever disrupted Brackstone’s season and he has struggled to establish himself as a regular first team player.
