John Doherty (born 12 April 1908; date of death unknown), also known as Jack "Dot" Doherty, was an Irish footballer who played as an inside-left and made three appearances for the IFA national team.
Doherty played for Park End in the North of Ireland Combination, as well as for Belfast Celtic. He joined Woodburn in the Intermediate League for the 1925âÂÂ26 and 1926âÂÂ27 seasons, before moving to Portadown in 1927. In 1930 he joined Ards, and later played for Cliftonville in the 1932âÂÂ33 season. In December 1932 he signed for Charlton Athletic in the Football League, where he played until the end of the 1933âÂÂ34 season.
Doherty earned seven caps for the Ireland Amateurs from 1927 to 1931. On 21 February 1928, he appeared for Ireland national team in a 4âÂÂ0 loss against France, though whether the match was a "full international" is disputed. He earned two additional caps for Ireland in 1932 as part of the 1932âÂÂ33 British Home Championship, appearing in a 1âÂÂ0 loss against England on 17 October in Blackpool and a 4âÂÂ1 loss against Wales on 7 December in Wrexham.
