John Ryan (Scottish footballer)

John Ryan (Scottish footballer)

John "Buck" Ryan (1929/1930 – August 12, 2008) was a Scottish professional footballer who played 61 league games for Charlton Athletic, scoring 32 goals.

He is most famous for scoring the winning goal in Charlton's 7–6 win over Huddersfield Town, the only game in professional football in which a team has scored six times and still lost the game. What was even more remarkable about the game was that Charlton had 10 men for 73 minutes of the match and were 5–1 down with 27 minutes remaining. Ryan scored the winning goal past keeper Sandy Kennon with one minute remaining.

He died in Swindon, England on August 12, 2008.
