John East Hawley (born 8 May 1954 in Patrington, England) is a former professional footballer. He was a striker who scored a total of 89 league goals in 287 games for seven different clubs.

Career

John Hawley started his career with his local league club Hull City. In five seasons he scored 22 goals for Hull in 114 games before he move to Leeds United. He scored a goal every other game at Leeds with 16 from 33 games, before moving to Sunderland where he maintained the average in 25 games, with 11 goals. In September 1981 he was signed for £40,000 by Arsenal, scoring three times in 21 matches. However he could not keep a first-team place, and after loan spells with Leyton Orient and Hull City he moved to Bradford City on a free transfer in May 1983.

He was signed at Bradford to replace leading goal-scorer Bobby Campbell, who had left for Derby County. Hawley had managed just two goals in the first 12 games, with the club only recording one win and at the bottom of the table, when Campbell returned. Hawley and Campbell forged a successful partnership and turned the season on its head, as the club won a record ten consecutive games but were unable to win promotion and finished 7th. Hawley finished the club's leading goal-scorer with 22 goals from 42 games.cite book

The following season Hawley started just 19 games but his six goals helped the club win promotion as champions of Division Three. Hawley left during the summer meaning his final game at Bradford was the 0–0 draw with Lincoln City and scene of the club's tragic fire.

He spent his final days at Scunthorpe United and retired with a total of 89 league goals from 287 games.

After retiring from playing Hawley established an antiques and fine arts business in Beverley in East Yorkshire.Fact|date=May 2008
