Kenneth Paul Hancock (25 November 1937 – 27 April 2025) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He was the younger brother of Ray Hancock, who also played as a goalkeeper.
Hancock made 442 league appearances in a 15-year career in the Football League. He began his professional career at Port Vale in December 1958. He helped the club to win the Fourth Division title in 1958–59 and remained the club's first-choice goalkeeper until he was sold to Ipswich Town for a £10,000 fee in December 1964. He kept goal as the club won the Second Division title in 1967–68. He was sold to Tottenham Hotspur for £7,000 in March 1969. He moved on to Bury in July 1971 and later played Northern Premier League football for Stafford Rangers and Northwich Victoria. He later briefly managed non-League club Leek Town.
Kenneth Paul Hancock was born on 25 November 1937 in Milton, and grew up in Abbey Hulton, both areas in the city of Stoke-on-Trent. He spent his youth with Stoke City before he was let go after being judged as too small by assistant manager Arthur Turner. His father, Charlie, had played as a goalkeeper in local non-League football. His elder brother, Ray, played as a goalkeeper for Stoke's Potteries derby rivals Port Vale. Hancock took a job as a bicycle courier for the city council and served his National Service with the North Staffordshire Regiment. By 1958, he had grown to a height of 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m).
