Johnny McKenzie (footballer)


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 – Third Lanark, Heart of Midlothian, Aberdeen and Ayr United – before his career was curtailed by World War II.
His most notable achievement was appearing in the 1937 Scottish Cup Final which Aberdeen lost 2–1 to Celtic; the Dons were also runners-up in the 1936–37 Scottish Division One table behind Rangers, having been third behind the Old Firm teams the previous season – 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 1934–35 Scottish Cup after a replay.
