Biography:
'Spotted' playing for the Irish League in a 4-0 defeat by the Southern League in March 1911, Jack Hanna signed for Nottingham Forest that July, an Irish League medal still fresh in his mind. He made his debut in a Division Two clash with Leeds City on the opening day of the 1911/12 season, and remained Forest's regular 'keeper for the next three seasons.
Described as a "fine, upstanding goalkeeper, very smart with both hands and an excellent close-range shot-stopper, often using his feet to good effect", Hanna was limted to just two caps thanks largely to the presence of long-time Ireland 'keeper, Billy Scott.
After the First World War, Hanna moved into non-League football, appearing for Scunthorpe and Workington.
