John Achterberg
| Date of birth | 08 July 1971 |
| Place of birth | Utrecht |
| Nationality | Dutch |
| Weight | 86 kg |
| Height | 1.85 m |
| Position | Goalkeeper |
Having signed a new three-year contract towards the end of the 1999-2000 season, John started 2000-01 as first-choice 'keeper for Tranmere Rovers and remained so until sidelined by an ankle injury.
Although out of action for several weeks, he returned to the team in the New Year continuing to see off the challenge of his younger rival Joe Murphy.
Calm and efficient, he has good handling skills and produced many sterling performances to save Rovers from some heavy defeats as they eventually dropped down to the Second Division.
John agreed a new two-year deal with Tranmere Rovers in May 2005 which was extended to June 2009 in May 2007.
