No individual photograph is known to survive for Bob John; see the note on the players index for why we use a plain card rather than guess.
A Welsh international who quietly became one of the most durable players in the club's history: his 470 appearances broke the club record set by Percy Sands, and stood as the record itself for years afterward. John played across three different Arsenal eras: the pre-Chapman years, Chapman's title-winning sides, and the club's continued dominance after Chapman's death in 1934.
