John Edward Bollington, also known as Jan Bollington (born 1892) was an English football player and coach.
Career
Born in
the Football League for Southend United and Brighton & Hove Albion.[1] He joined Southend in August 1919 from the Army, leaving them in September 1920 to sign for Brighton.[2] He suffered a broken leg during an FA Cup match against Cardiff City while attempting to tackle opposition forward Jimmy Gill. The injury ultimately ended his playing career, while Cardiff held a benefit match in November 1921 against Brighton to raise funds for him.[3]
He later became a football manager in the Netherlands; he was in charge of amateur club
South Africa.[7]
