Biography
John initially featured as an amateur towards the end of the 1898-99 season and start of the 1899-00 campaign before signing as a professional on 20th September 1899 after some excellent performances.
He became an important part of our front line, featuring regularly up until the end of the 1899-00 season and in August 1900 it was reported he had signed for Dundee Wanderers alongside Isaac Milne. He did however feature twice further for the club, a New Year friendly in January 1900 and a County League match the following month.
