John "Jack"/'Sogger' Waring (3 October 1919[1] — 3 June 2004 (aged 84)) birth registered in Prescot, was an English professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, playing at representative level for England, and at club level for Blackbrook ARLFC, St. Helens, Dewsbury (guest), Belle Vue Rangers, Featherstone Rovers (Heritage № 278),[2] and Warrington as a wing, centre, stand-off/five-eighth, or scrum-half/halfback, i.e. 2 or 5, 3 or 4, 6, or 7.

Playing career

International honours

Jack Waring won a cap for England while at St. Helens, he played right-centre, i.e. number 3, and scored a last-minute try in the 8-5 victory over Wales at the Watersheddings, Oldham on Saturday 9 November 1940, in front of a crowd of 5,000.[3]

Club career

Jack Waring made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Monday 22 November 1947,[4] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.
