John James Bagshaw (25 December 1885 – 25 August 1966) was an English footballer who spent the majority of his career with Derby County. He also represented the England national side. He was a defender who could play anywhere along the half-back line.[1]

Bagshaw was born in Derby, and began playing football with Graham Street Prims. He also played for Fletcher's Athletic, his works team.[2] After being invited to play in a trial match by Derby County, he was signed b the club in October 1906.[2] His career with the club was split by the First World War, during which all league football was suspended. Bagshaw did however represent Notts County in war-time friendlies.[1] He continued his career with Derby after the end of war and in 1919 he won his sole full cap for England. He also played an unofficial game for England in a "Victory International".[1]

He left Derby in February 1920, having won two Second Division titles in his time with the club.[1] He joined Notts County and subsequently moved to Watford for £200 in May 1921.[1] He played 14 games for the club, all in the league.[1]

In 1922 he joined Ilkeston United on a free transfer, and later played for Grantham.[1] After retiring from playing he worked as a scout for Nottingham Forest, Notts County and Coventry City, as well as being on Forest's training staff during the Second World War.[1] He died in Nottingham, aged 80.[1]
