Jack Wilkinson (17 September 1931 – 10 April 1996) was an English footballer who played as a centre-forward in the Football League for eight years. He scored 81 goals in 158 league games, a record of a goal every two appearances. He moved from Witton Albion to Arsenal in October 1953, but featured only once for the "Gunners" before moving on to Sheffield United in March 1956. He switched to Port Vale in June 1957, and helped the "Valiants" to the Fourth Division title in 1958–59. He was sold on to Exeter City for a £2,500 fee in October 1959, before entering non-league football in 1961 with Wellington Town. ==Playing career== Wilkinson played for Middlewich Athletic Rangers and Witton Albion before moving into League football with Tom Whittaker's Arsenal in October 1953. He made just one competitive appearance, in a First Division game against Leicester City on 19 February 1955; Arsenal drew 1–1. Despite consistently scoring for Arsenal's reserves he was never given another first-team chance at Highbury, and was transferred to Sheffield United in March 1956. Joe Mercer's "Blades" were relegated out of the top-flight with a last place finish in 1955–56, and could only manage a seventh-place finish in the Second Division in 1956–57. Wilkinson scored 16 goals in 29 league games during his time at Bramall Lane. Wilkinson signed with Norman Low's Port Vale in June 1957. He scored 19 goals in 44 appearances in the 1957–58 season, though could not prevent the "Valiants" finishing in the lower half of the Third Division South table to become founder members of the Fourth Division.〔 He then scored 21 goals in 34 games in the 1958–59 campaign, as Vale stormed to promotion as the division's champions; the other members of the highly effective front-line included Harry Poole, Stan Steele, and Noel Kinsey.〔 Having scored just once in six league games at the start of the 1959–60 season, he was sold to Exeter City for a £2,500 fee in October 1959.〔 He was flown down to St James Park by helicopter to sign with the club, before he scored on his debut for the "Grecians". He helped Frank Broome's side to post a ninth-place finish in the Fourth Division in 1959–60. The club had to apply for re-election in the 1960–61 season, and despite boasting a record of 26 goals in 48 league games for Exeter, Wilkinson moved on to non-league sides Wellington Town and Murgatroyd's.
