*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
John H. Ascroft (born 1909) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside left. He made appearance in the English Football League for Wrexham.[2] He also was on the books of EFL clubs Oldham Athletic and Arsenal but never made an appearance for either club.[1]
Reviews
The Football Gazette (South Shields) said:[3]
Wrexham are not going to miss Gunson, their goalgetting left winger, so very much if John Herbert Ascroft repeats the delightful form he displayed against Stockport County a week ago, for apart from scoring this youngster was a real live wire in all he did. He played with the Bangor City club last season and there attracted quite a lot of attention, but did not wish to go far from North Wales. Wrexham have quite a good opinion of him.[3]
