John McAliskey is a professional footballer who currently plays for Huddersfield Town in Coca-Cola League One.
When he first played for Huddersfield, during the 2003-04 season, he was instantly compared by fans to Jon Stead, whom had recently left for Premiership side Blackburn Rovers. The comparisons were justified by his looks, hair, height and early goalscoring prowess, which helped Town win promotion that season.
Since, then it has been tough going for him and was sent on loan to Torquay United during the 2005-06 season, due to lack of match action. Because of this he was also sent on loan to Wrexham during this season.
Incidentally, he has played for the Irish Under-21 side, because his grandparents were originally from Ireland.
