John Ballagher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Ballagher (born 21 March 1936) was an English footballer. He played professionally for Sheffield Wednesday, Doncaster Rovers and Gillingham between 1957 and 1964, making a total of 85 Football League appearances.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

An inside-forward, he joined Sheffield Wednesday in 1956 from Stalybridge Celtic but was unable to command a first-team place, largely because of the consistency of Keith Ellis and in February 1961 he was allowed to join Doncaster Rovers in a deal which brought John Meredith to Sheffield. In 1962 Ballagher was transferred to Gillingham.[3]
