Experienced Scottish international inside forward who had won his
first cap with Albion Rovers before a transfer to Hearts saw him win
his second and make his reputation as a goalscorer. When he came down
to Leeds, he was joint top scorer in his first full season, and
although he scored consistently after that, was never in the side for
close enough to a full campaign to be able to repeat the feat. He died
in early 1986.
Jeff Trice says: John played for Margate in the Southern League
during the 34/35 season.
