John Alec "Johnnie" Jackson (born 15 August 1982) is an English professional footballer who plays for League One club Charlton Athletic. He usually plays as a central midfielder or as a left sided midfielder but can also play as a left-back.
Born in Camden, London, Jackson began his career at Tottenham Hotspur in 1999, signing professional terms in 2000; however he rarely broke into the first-team, scoring once in the league in a 4–2 win away to Charlton Athletic in February 2004.
During his time at White Hart Lane he spent many seasons on loan at various lower league clubs, such as Swindon Town, where he scored twice, once in the league against Northampton Town, and once in the Football League Trophy against Southend United. He also went on loan to Colchester United, whom he would later join on a permanent basis. Jackson earned admiration while on loan at Coventry City when he scored the last-minute winning goal against local rivals West Bromwich Albion.
In the summer of 2006, Jackson was released by Tottenham. He was soon signed on a free transfer by Colchester, who were recently promoted to the Championship, and whom he had played for on loan in 2003. He scored his first goal for the club in February 2007, when Colchester lost 2–1 against West Bromwich Albion.
In the 2007–08 season Jackson won the club's Player of the Year award.
