pcupdate = 15:16, 17 June 2008 (UTC)John William Spicer (born
September 13 ,1983 inRomford ) is an English footballer, who plays for Doncaster Rovers.Career
He started his career with Arsenal, but could only manage a single League Cup appearance for the Gunners, as a substitute against Rotherham United on
October 28 ,2003 . He later went on a four month loan spell at Bournemouth, starting onSeptember 10 ,2004 .At Bournemouth, he played 19 games and scored four goals; impressed with his form, Bournemouth signed him permanently on
December 17 ,2004 . He played another 31 games and scored further four goals for theLeague One club over the next eight months.This form earned him a £35,000 move to Burnley (who capitalised on a get-out clause in his contract with A.F.C. Bournemouth) at the start of the 2005–06 season, joining the Clarets on
August 27 ,2005 .The highlight of Spicer's first season at Burnley was taking over as goalkeeper after Burnley's Brian Jensen was sent off in a match at Luton. Despite having no previous experience as a goalkeeper, Spicer played well enough during his hour in goal to ensure a famous 3–2 victory.
Spicer spent the 2006–07 season as a squad player; his most significant contribution that season being the only goal in a victory at Birmingham.
In the 2007–08 season Spicer once again started as a substitute, but forced his way into the team before an injury allowed other midfielders to stake their claim at a time which coincided with much-improved Burnley results. He joined Doncaster Rovers in June 2008.cite news
