John Daglish (6 November 1907 – 5 February 1962)
Life and career
Daglish was born in 1907 in
Daglish made his debut at
He returned to the North-Eastern League and Annfield Plain for the 1933–34 season,
Daglish spent the 1935–36 season with West Stanley, and then signed for another North-Eastern League club, Ashington, in May 1937.[4] He continued as a regular in the team until competitive football was suspended at the start of the Second World War and for a further two years in the wartime competitions, until the Ashington club closed down in August 1941. In his final season, he captained the team, missed only one match of the 33 played,[5][15] and scored his first goal in three years.[16] The Blyth News of 1940 highlighted his character as well as his skills:[5]
It is well enough known that some veteran players have been inclined to resort to doubtful tactics in order to make up their declining speed and activity. But I feel sure that Jack Daglish will go to the end of his playing career with the reputation of playing the game in the best sense of the term. Undoubtedly he is not so nimble as many of his present day opponents although he can often neutralise his disadvantage in this respect by his cool and calculated counter-moves and sound positional play.
Away from football, Daglish was a schoolteacher.
