John Wark is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on August 4, 1957 in Glasgow, Scotland.

John Wark (born 4 August 1957) is a Scottish former footballer who spent most of his playing time with Ipswich Town. He won a record four Player of the Year awards before becoming one of the four inaugural members of the club’s Hall of Fame. Wark had long spells at the club, which bookended his career, and a third, brief interlude dividing his briefer periods at Liverpool and Middlesbrough. A versatile player, Wark played most of his professional games as a midfielder, although he sometimes played as a central defender and on occasion as a striker.

In the early 1960s, the family moved to another tenement block, this time in Scotstoun, and Wark’s father secured employment at nearby Albion Motors. The new home accommodated a back yard in which Wark played football from the age of six. He said “[f]ootball seemed to occupy 99 per cent of my time as a youngster” as he tried to emulate his brother Alex, who had become a professional at St Mirren. Wark attended Scotstoun Primary School, where he became captain of the football team. On moving to secondary school, he was selected for the Glasgow Schools representative team. He also played for Drumchapel Amateurs at the under-14 level, where he was, for a period, managed by David Moyes’ father, also named David.
