David Bone Nightingale Jack (3 April 1898 – 10 September 1958) was an English footballer who played as an inside forward.

He was the first footballer to be transferred for a fee in excess of £10,000, was the first to score at Wembley – in the 1923 FA Cup Final – and was capped nine times for England.

[5] An inside forward, Jack started his senior career with his father's club, Plymouth Argyle, after the war.

[10] In 1928, with Bolton in financial trouble, Herbert Chapman's Arsenal made Jack the first five-digit signing in world football, almost double the previous record; the final fee paid was £10,647 10 shillings.

Chapman remained sober while the Bolton representatives got very drunk, and managed to haggle down the fee to a price he considered a bargain.

[15] By the time of the latter he was in his mid-30s and reaching the end of his career;[15] competition for his place from new signing Ray Bowden meant Jack played only 16 matches that season.

[15] Altogether he scored 124 times in 208 matches for Arsenal, making him, as of 2017[update] the tenth-highest goalscorer in the club's history.
