John Hurst is an English former professional footballer. Born in Blackpool, Lancashire Hurst joined the youth system for Everton, making his first team debut in the 1965-66 season.[1] Originally a striker, Everton manager Harry Catterick made Hurst into a wing-half, a position in which he appeared in the 1968 FA Cup Final. Following the introduction of substitutes to English football in 1965 (for injury only) Hurst became Everton's first ever sub replacing Fred Pickering at Stoke City's Victoria Ground in August 1965. Hurst was transferred to Oldham Athletic folling the 1975-76 season.
After his playing career Hurst remained in the game, working as a coach at Everton, and as a scout for Manchester City, then managed by his former teammate, Joe Royle.
