John McKenzie was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside right. He played in the Scottish Football League's top division for four clubs over nine consecutive seasons â Third Lanark, Heart of Midlothian, Aberdeen and Ayr United â before his career was curtailed by World War II.
His most notable achievement was appearing in the 1937 Scottish Cup Final which Aberdeen lost 2âÂÂ1 to Celtic; the Dons were also runners-up in the 1936âÂÂ37 Scottish Division One table behind Rangers, having been third behind the Old Firm teams the previous season â McKenzie missed only three matches across those two campaigns. In his single year with Hearts, they also finished third in the league table and lost out in the semi-finals of the 1934âÂÂ35 Scottish Cup after a replay.
At representative level, he was selected for the Glasgow FA's annual challenge match against Sheffield in October 1933, scoring twice.
