John Bailey (born 6 May 1969) is an English former footballer, most notable for being the only player to score for AFC Bournemouth at Wembley Stadium.

He started off in Croydon's youth side and, his potential evident, moved up to the first team, playing between 1987 and 1989. After playing for non-league Enfield from 1994 to 1995, he signed for Bournemouth in July 1995 for £10,000. [1]

He scored Bournemouth's goal in the 1998 Auto Windscreens Shield final, which Grimsby Town won 2–1.

After attempting a comeback in the 2000/01 pre-season, he announced his retirement in October 2000. [3]

He later played for Lymington Town F.C.
