John "Johnny or Jack" McGuire
Sometimes an article is so comprehensive that little or nothing can be added. Such is the case with that by the inestimable Andy Mitchell's on Jack McGuire, Dunblane-born but a pioneer of soccer in the USA. So here are the link to it and Wiki's.
All that needs added is that he was one of two brothers born illegitimate, their mother from Dunblane and a Millworker. They were raised by her, she working as a Charwoman. He trained as a tailor. He married in 1920, his bride Anne "Nan" McNaughton was born in Perthshire. The wedding was in York in Ontario in Canada. They were to have two children and she would outlive him by the best part of two decades, dying 1980 at the age of eighty-eight to be buried beside him in Maple Grove Cemetery, New York.
