Jackie McGugan

John Hannah "Jackie" McGugan (12 June 1939 – 15 November 2015)[1] was a Scottish footballer, who played for Pollok, St Mirren, Leeds United, Tranmere Rovers, Ayr United, Greenock Morton and Cambridge City.[2][3]

McGugan was part of the St Mirren team that won the 1959 Scottish Cup Final, when he was aged 19.[3] He was then selected for a Scotland squad that toured Denmark, Netherlands and Portugal.[3] McGugan played in one unofficial match for Scotland during the tour, against a Jutland representative team.[3] After being dropped from the St Mirren team in 1960, McGugan requested a transfer and subsequently moved to Leeds.[3] He suffered injuries during his time there and was unable to displace Jack Charlton from their first XI.[3] McGugan later played for Tranmere Rovers, Ayr United, Greenock Morton and Cambridge City.[3]

Having played for Cambridge City for six years, McGugan continued to live in the city after he retired from playing football.[3]
