Jack W. Dorkin (born July 1866, at sea on board the SS Tamar) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward for Southampton St. Mary's in the 1890s.
Dorkin's early career took him to various parts of the country; his first recorded club was Ipswich Rangers in 1893.
He subsequently played in Scotland with St Bernard's before joining the Royal Engineers at Chatham,[1] where he represented the Army in a match against the Corinthians.
[2] In January 1893, he was "bought out" of the Royal Engineers by Southampton St. Mary's, and became one of the club's first professional players.
By now, Dorkin was past his prime and only made his league debut near the end of the season, when he played and scored in each of the last three matches.
