John Joseph William Cashman (21 April 1906 – 18 July 1982)[1] was anAustralian rules footballer who played forFitzroy andCarlton in theVictorian Football League (VFL), West Perth in theWest Australian Football League (WAFL) and Yarraville in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).[2]
Cashman was used during his career mostly as a ruckman and forward. He was recruited locally to Fitzroy and kicked 25 goals for themin 1929.
In 1932 he went to Western Australia and took on the role of captain-coach ofWest Perth, steering them to their first WAFL premiership since 1905 in his first year in charge. He led West Perth to a third place the following season and was lured back to Fitzroy where he was appointed captain-coach.
After just two games as captain-coach of Fitzroy, Cashman resigned, citing that members of the club committee were against him. A four-time VFL interstate representative, he got a clearance to Carlton and finished the season there, kicking 19 goals up forward.
Although he started the 1935 season at Carlton, he ended up atYarraville and was a centre half forward in their premiership that year. After a year back with West Perth in 1936, he continued his coaching career in 1937 when he was put in charge of Yarraville and in 1938 he became captain-coach ofCananore in Tasmania before retiring in 1941.
