John Hunter (born 1904) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside left. He featured primarily for Falkirk[2] where he spent seven seasons as a regular during a period when the team usually finished in a high position in the top division of the Scottish Football League. In 1927 he was selected as a member of a Scottish Football Association party which toured North America,[3][4][5] but never received a full cap for Scotland.
In 1928 Hunter moved on to English football for three seasons with Reading,[6][2] then had a spell in the League of Ireland with Brideville[2] before returning to the south-east of England with Guildford City, where he was on the coaching staff as they won the Southern Football League title in 1937–38[7] while also still appearing for their reserve team.[8]
