Jack Archer was a stylish left half from Everton, where he played only 15 first team games in 5 years. On his return to the Midlands he played in City's side that was close to gaining promotion to Division 1 for the first time. He established a fine partnership with left back Walter Metcalf, but lost his place to Harry Boileau and was sold to Ply-mouth. At the outbreak of the war, he joined the RAF, but broke his leg in a match against the Army.
It took 18 months to heal and after a few guest appearances for Hull City, Luton Town and Tranmere Rovers, he retired from football and returned to work in Coventry.
