John Colin Askey (born 4 November 1964) is an English football manager and former professional footballer who is currently the manager of National League South club Truro City.
He is the son of former Port Vale player Colin Askey.
He had a 19-year playing career at Macclesfield Town, from 1984 to 2003, and was voted the club's PFA Fans' Favourites and cult hero. During this time the club spent six seasons in English Football League and won the Northern Premier League title in 1986–87, the Football Conference title in 1994–95 and 1996–97, and promotion out of the Third Division in 1997–98. Town also won the Northern Premier League Challenge Cup, Northern Premier League President's Cup, and Conference League Cup.
He stayed on at Macclesfield Town as a coach after retiring as a player in 2003, and was appointed as manager in October 2003. He was replaced as manager in April 2004, but stayed on at the club as a coach, before he was appointed as manager for a second time in April 2013. He coached Macclesfield to the 2017 FA Trophy Final, where they were beaten by York City. The following season, 2017–18, he led the team back into the Football League as champions of the National League despite having one of the division's lowest budgets. Following this achievement, he moved on to manage Shrewsbury Town in June 2018.
