Little is known about John Poxon. He played with Isthmian League side Dulwich Hamlet. He played four games for Leeds United in the 1942-43 Football League Northern Section (First Championship). He made his debut at Right Half on 17th October 1942 in a 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers at Belle Vue. Three weeks later he was at Right Half again in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road with Bradford Park Avenue and was at Inside Left in the reverse fixture the following week as United went down 0-1 in the away game. He played his last game for Leeds in the final fixture of the campaign on Xmas Day 1942 as United drew 3-3 with Huddersfield Town at Elland Road. It is not thought that Poxon played professionally in the Football League.
