John Pantsil
| Born | 15 June 1981, Berekum |
| Nationality | Ghanian |
| Weight | 80 kg |
| Height | 1.78 m |
| Position | Defender/Midfielder |
John joined West Ham United in August 2006 with a four-year contract.
There has been considerable confusion regarding the spelling of John's surname. Shortly after joining Fulham, he explained: "My family name is Paintsil but when I was born, it was registered as Pantsil and that went on my passport so the Premier League had to register me as Pantsil."
He joined Leicester City in July 2011 with a three-year contract that was cancelled in May 2012.
