John Moore (born 9 September 1945) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Shrewsbury Town, Swansea City and Stoke City.[1]
Moore was born in Liverpool and began his career with Everton's youth team before joining Stoke City in 1967.[1] He was thrust into the first team due to injuries and played in 13 matches during the 1967–68 season.[1] However it was a poor season for Stoke as they were almost relegated and in the 13 matches played in defence Stoke lost nine of them conceding 32 goals.[1] He was released from his contract and signed for Third Division Shrewsbury Town. He became a regular for the "Shrews", playing 159 matches for the club and scoring once, against Rotherham United on 15 August 1970. He then spent a year and a half at Welsh club Swansea City before retiring due to injury.[1]
