John George 'Jack' Peart (born 3 October 1888 in South Shields, England, died in September 1948) was a professional footballer, who played centre forward, and football manager.
Peart was a centre forward who had a nomadic career. He played for eight league clubs in a career which spanned 19 years and every division of the Football League. He also played non-league football in the Southern and Welsh leagues, as well as guested for other clubs during World War One. Peart was known as the 'most injured man in football', which included a broken leg in 1910 at Sheffield United keeping him out of football for two seasons.[1]
His clubs included Adelaide South Shields, Sheffield United, Stoke, Newcastle United, Notts County, Birmingham, Derby County, Ebbw Vale Steel & Iron Company, Port Vale, Norwich City and Rochdale. He also played at Leeds City and Rochdale in war-time football.
He was also a manager, including player-manager at Ebbw Vale and Rochdale. He left Rochdale to become manager of Bradford City. He took over from the club's most successful manager, Peter O'Rourke in July 1930. During his five years at Valley Parade he maintained the club's position in Division Two but he had offered to resign at the end of 1933-34 before agreeing to see out the final two years of his contract.[1]
In 1935 he joined Fulham where he remained until his death in September 1948 at the age of 58. The team he built went on to win the Division Two championship.
