John Whibley (7 July 1891 – 1972) was an English professional footballer who played in both the Southern League and Football League for Crystal Palace, as an outside left.[1] He also played non-league football for Sittingbourne.

Playing career

Whibley was born in Sittingbourne, Kent and began his youth career with local club Sittingbourne F.C..[2] He signed for Crystal Palace, then playing in the Southern League, in 1911,[3] and over the following seasons, up until the outbreak of World War One, was a reserve player making only 20 appearances, scoring three times.[2]

Whibley's career was then interrupted by military service,[4] but he returned to play for Crystal Palace in the 1919–1920 season (35 appearances, nine goals).[2] He made a total of 55 appearances in the Southern League scoring 12 goals.[2]

In 1920, Crystal Palace became a founder member of the Third Division and Whibley made the transition to professional football.[2] He became a regular in the side that won the inaugural Third Division title in 1920–21,[5] making 32 appearances and scoring five times.[2] Over the next two seasons Whibley made a further 59 appearances scoring 10 goals but towards the end of the 1922–23 season was no longer first choice outside-left[2] and in May 1923, returned to Sittingbourne.[6] He had made a total of 146 League appearances for Crystal Palace, scoring 27 goals.[2]
