Retired from the professional game after leaving Town in June 1965

During April 1958 the Welsh FA announced 40 names for the preliminary squad to represent Wales in the forthcoming World Cup finals that were played in Sweden. Amongst the names were John Elsworthy and Doug Rees of Ipswich Town. The squad was subsequently reduced and John Elsworthy was included in the final 22. However due to financial restrictions he did not travel to Sweden, and of course he never represented Wales in his career.

COULD I SAY WHAT A PLEASURE IT IS TO HAVE FOUND (THROUGH MY SON) THIS SUPERBLY RESEARCHED SITE (ALSO EASY TO FOLLOW FOR AN OLDIE LIKE ME). GREAT TO BE ABLE TO TRACE PRESENT AND PAST PLAYERS (INCLUDING ACADEMY)UNDER ONE ROOF,AS IT WERE. I worked in Ipswich from Sept 1959 and Portman Rd. was my favourite Saturday afternoon haunt. Several memories stll abide all these years later and one of the most vivid is that of John Elworthy majestically striding up from the half-back position (as it was then) in that inimitable style of his. To my mind comparison with names like Wright, Moore, Beckenbauer (spelling ? ) Hansen etc are not fanciful. One thing of special interest to me living in Wales is that I remember a saying going around at the time that John Elsworthy was one of the unluckiest players never to be capped for his country.
