John Herbert Ascroft (2 February 1907 – 1990) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside left.
He made appearance in the English Football League for Wrexham.
[4] The Football Gazette (South Shields) wrote about Ascroft:[1] 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.
