Jack Blackwell (28 October 1909 – 25 October 2001) was a professional footballer who played for Huddersfield Town, Charlton Athletic and Ipswich Town.
Blackwell played for Chapel-en-le-Frith, Huddersfield Town and Charlton Athletic before joining Port Vale in February 1934. He scored a brace on his debut in a 5–1 home win over Millwall on 24 February 1934. He enjoyed regular football until picking up a serious knee injury in August 1934, which sidelined him for four months. He never regained his first team spot and was instead released in May 1935. He moved on to Boston United and Ipswich Town.[1]
