John Peter Connole (29 July 1890 – 23 May 1958) was anAustralian rules footballer who played withMelbourne in theVictorian Football League (VFL).^[1]

In May 1919, an unidentified former Melbourne footballer, wrote to the football correspondent ofThe Argus as follows:

"In 1914 the Melbourne football team,after its junction with the University, was a fine team, and succeeded in reaching the semi-finals.
Out of this combination the following players enlisted and served at the front:—
C. Lilley (seriously wounded),J. Hassett,H. Tomkins (severely wounded),J. Evans (seriously wounded),W. Hendrie,R. L. Park,J. Doubleday (died),A. Best,C. Burge (killed),C. (viz., A.) Williamson (killed),J. Brake,R. Lowell,E. Parsons (seriously wounded),A. M. Pearce (killed),F. Lugton (killed),A. George,C. Armstrong,P. Rodriguez (killed), J. Cannole (viz., Connole),A. Fraser (seriously wounded),T. Collins.
These are all players of note, and in themselves would have formed a very fine side, but there is only one of them playing at the present time, viz., C. Lilley, who, as a matter of fact, takes the field under some disability owing to severe wounds which he received on service." —The Argus, 16 May 1919.^[2]
