John Crompton (18 December 1921 – 4 July 2013) was an English professional
1948 and the league title in 1952. During the Second World War, he played as a guest for Stockport County.[2]
After his retirement from playing at the end of the 1955–56 season, Crompton was hired as a trainer by
club's reserve team, a position he held for seven years before ultimately retiring from the game.[3]
As one of the last surviving members of the 1948 FA Cup-winning team going into the 21st century, Crompton was often invited to events commemorating the club's history, including the opening of an exhibit in the club museum marking the 100th anniversary of Old Trafford.[5] He was also president of Curzon Ashton, who in 2012 played in a friendly against a Manchester United reserve XI for the "Jack Crompton Trophy".[6] On 4 July 2013, it was announced that Crompton had died, aged 91.[7]
