John Browning (footballer, born 1915)

John Browning (27 January 1915 – 14 August 1971) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half for Liverpool and Cowdenbeath.[2] In his spell at Anfield he was unable to displace the long-serving Jimmy McDougall from his preferred position, making only 19 appearances across five seasons.[3] He moved to Gillingham, but before playing for them his career was interrupted by the onset of World War II, during which he appeared for Dumbarton,[4][5] Albion Rovers and Cowdenbeath, staying with the Fife club after the conflict ended.
