John Russell "Jackie" Bell (17 October 1939 – 1991) was an English footballer. He played for Newcastle United, Norwich City and Colchester United.

Career[edit]

Bell joined Newcastle United straight from school. He turned professional in 1957.[1] He played as a wing-back for the club from 1956 until 1962, making 117 appearances and scoring 8 goals.

After playing for Newcastle United since 1957, Bell was transferred to Norwich City in July 1962 for £100,000.[1] This transfer became the subject of a dispute on which the League management committee heard evidence. Norwich City alleged that Newcastle United had asked too high a transfer for a player they knew to be diabetic. Newcastle denied they had tricked Norwich City and their explanation was accepted. They returned half the transfer fee to Norwich.[1]

While playing for Colchester United, Bell was found to be suffering from diabetes so retired on medical advice from League football, joining Gainford Town.[2]
