Jack Small (29 October 1889 – 9 December 1946)[1] was an English professional footballer who played at wing-half either side of the First World War.
Small spent most of his time at Roker Park in the reserves and his only first-team appearance for Sunderland came in a 3–1 victory at Manchester United on 15 March 1913.
[2] He was "the sort of player whose influence on team spirit was always positive (who) relished a challenge and his sturdy half-back play was an inspiration".
[2] After the war, he was a member of the Thornycrofts team which took First Division Burnley to a replay in the FA Cup first round, where they were defeated 5–0 after a scoreless draw at The Dell.
[6] He then spent a few months back in the Southern League with Mid Rhondda, before retiring from professional football in December 1920 and taking up employment with Harland & Wolff.
