Biography

John played as a trialist in a league game against Kilmarnock in mid-February 1952, being signed up after the game from his junior club Elmwood and becoming our regular outside right for the rest of the 1951-52 campaign. He spent most of the 1952-53 and 53-54 seasons as our regular right winger, before the signing of Tom Donegan saw him lose his right wing place the following campaign. After making just seven appearances in the first half of the season, he was offered a free transfer in late December, and he would go on to sign for Dundee Utd early in January 1955.
