Jack Wilkie

Scottish footballer

John Wilkie was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough.[3]

Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

He began his career with Partick Thistle, and returned to the club eight years later for a second spell.[2][4] He played alongside former Jags left-wing teammate John Campbell at Blackburn and Rangers,[5] and would do so again briefly at Hibernian.[6]

At Rangers, he had a minor role in the club's perfect season of 1898–99 (18 league wins from 18 matches) and played more often as they retained the SFL title in 1899–1900, and in a third championship season in 1901–02. He also claimed Glasgow Cup medals in the latter two seasons.[5]

Wilkie was selected for the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots international trial match in 1898 while with Blackburn,[7] and again in 1904 while with Partick,[8] but this did not lead to a cap for Scotland on either occasion.
