John Connaughton

Patrick John Connaughton (born September 23, 1949) is an English former professional football goalkeeper. He represented England at Youth level. He was born in Wigan.

John Connaughton joined the Manchester United groundstaff in January 1965, signing as an apprentice in May the same year. He turned professional in October 1966, but would have to wait almost six years for his United debut. In the meantime he was loaned to Halifax Town in September 1969, and to Torquay United from October 1971 to April 1972. His Manchester United debut finally came on April 4, 1972 against Sheffield United at Brammall Lane.

In October 1972, after two further appearances in the Manchester United side, he returned to Brammall Lane, but this time as a Sheffield United player, costing the Blades £15,000. He played only 12 times for the Blades, leaving for Port Vale in June 1974. He had much more success as a Vale player, making 191 league appearances before leaving in February 1980 to join non-league Altrincham.
