John Bernard Ryan (born 18 February 1962) is an English footballer who played as a left back in the Football League. Equally adept at left full back or left wing, is still fondly remembered at Boundary Park where he was a firm fan favourite.

Ryan transferred to Sheffield Wednesday in exchange for Pat Heard plus £40,000.[2]
