John Charles Bird (born 9 June 1948) is an English former professional footballer and manager.

Bird's transfer from Preston North EndtoNewcastle United in 1975 prompted the resignation of Preston manager Bobby Charlton.^[2]^[3] A week later, head coach and caretaker manager Nobby Stiles also resigned,^[4] although he returned to the club as manager two years later.

Life after football[edit]

After leaving football, Bird pursued his interest in art full-time, becoming a professional painter and gallery curator.^[5]
