About Jack Casley
- John Casley (27 April 1926 – 31 May 2014) was an English professional footballer, born in Torquay, who played in the Football League for Torquay United.Casley joined Torquay United in June 1947.
- An injury crisis, including the loss of regular keeper Phil Joslin, left Torquay without a goalkeeper for the match at Plainmoor against Walsall in April 1948 and, although a midfielder, Casley played in goal and helped Torquay to a 3–2 victory, which in turn meant that they would not finish at the foot of the league.
- Casley never played for Torquay's league team again, in any position, joining Headington United (later to become Oxford United) in 1949 as their first professional player.
- Casley played his first game for Headington in goal, but reverted to the outfield thereafter, and scored the club's first hat-trick in the Southern League in his third game.
- He retired as a first-team player in 1951, but remained with the club, stepping down as chief scout only in 2002, aged 75, after 53 years' association with the club.
- He died on 31 May 2014 from natural causes at the age of 88.
