John Maddock (24 November 1896 – 27 October 1972) was an English footballer, noted for his 'rifle shot'. He played in the right-back position for Stoke between 1919 and 1921, before signing with Port Vale following a two years spell at Macclesfield Town. He spent eight years with Vale, before joining Crewe Alexandra in 1931. He later played for non-league sides Nantwich and Audley United. He won the Third Division North title with Port Vale in 1929–30.
Maddock played for local teams Bignall End and Audley, before being spotted by Stoke. He played for them during the war years, playing three games in 1916–17, 23 games in 1917–18, and 14 games in 1918–19. He then established himself in the right-back role as the Second Division continued after the war. He scored three goals, all penalties at the Victoria Ground, in 15 games in the 1919–20 campaign. After making eight appearances in the 1920–21 season, a serious knee injury seemingly ended his career. Unable to continue working in his former role as a carpenter in his father's factory, let alone play professional football he spent 75 guineas of his money to pay for surgery to remove his damaged cartilage; the operation was a success, and allowed him to make occasional appearances for Macclesfield Town.
