John C. Scott (born 1 January 1872, date of death unknown) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward. Born in Edinburgh he played for Leith Athletic in his native Scotland before spells with Sheffield United and Gainsborough Trinity in England.

Career

Scott played for Cameron Highlanders as a youth,[1] before coming to prominence with local club Leith Athletic.[1] It was here that he was spotted by English side Sheffield United who signed him in December 1891 to play in the Northern League.[1] Scott scored on his league debut in a 5–1 victory over Newcastle West End a few days later and would go on to also score on his debut in both the FA Cup (during a 3–0 victory over Blackpool a month later[1]) and on his Football League debut (in a 2–0 victory over Small Heath in September 1892).[2] Described by United trainer George Waller (regarded as an excellent judge of players) during a contemporary interview as "one of the best", Scott played regularly until his was surprisingly transferred in December 1892, a year after his arrival.[1]

Spending almost eight years at Gainsborough Trinity, Scott became a mainstay of their side, making 92 appearances in The Football League and scoring 20 goals for the Lincolnshire club.[1] He played little during his final season with Trinity and it was reported that as a reservist he had been called up to fight in South Africa in the Second Boer War.[1]
