John W. (Jack) Smith was a 19th century footballer.
Smith joined Burslem Port Vale in June 1892 and made his debut at left-half in a 4-0 defeat at Sheffield United on 17 December 1892. He was a regular in the side from September 1893, but his career ground to halt on New Years Day 1894 as he injured an ankle in a 3-1 defeat at Middlesbrough Ironopolis. He played few games from then until his release in the summer of 1895.[1]
