John Scott (footballer, born 1872)

John C. "Jack" (or "Jock") Scott (born 1 January 1872, date of death unknown) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward. Born in Edinburgh he played for Leith Athletic in his native Scotland before spells with Sheffield United and Gainsborough Trinity in England.

Career

Scott played for Cameron Highlanders as a youth, before coming to prominence with local club Leith Athletic. It was here that he was spotted by English side Sheffield United who signed him in December 1891 to play in the Northern League. Scott scored on his league debut in a 5–1 victory over Newcastle West End a few days later and would go on to also score on his debut in both the FA Cup (during a 3–0 victory over Blackpool a month later) and on his Football League debut (in a 2–0 victory over Small Heath in September 1892). Described by United trainer George Waller (regarded as an excellent judge of players) during a contemporary interview as "one of the best", Scott played regularly until his was surprisingly transferred in December 1892, a year after his arrival.
