John Davison Hewie (13 December 1927 – 11 May 2015) was a South African-born Scottish international footballer, who spent most of his career with Charlton Athletic.

Hewie was born in Pretoria, South Africa, to Scottish emigrant parents and lived there for the first 21 years of his life. He developed a keen interest in sport while at school, notably tennis and hockey.^[4] Football however was his primary pastime and he honed his skills first with his employer's works team then local sides Arcadia and Johannesburg.

In October 1949 the opportunity arose for Hewie to turn professional with English side Charlton Athletic, who had already imported several other South African-based players. He would spend the next 19 years in south-east London, making over 500 appearances^[5][6] for the Addicks and playing in almost every position, including four times as a goalkeeper when regular custodian Mick Rose was injured.^[4]

Hewie briefly moved into a managerial role as his playing career ended, when he undertook the role of player-manager for non-league Kent side Bexley United.^[8] He returned to South Africa and first club Arcadia in 1968 and remained in the country of his birth until the early 1990s, at which point he returned to the United Kingdom. He lived in Spalding, Lincolnshire until his death in May 2015.^[5][9]
