John Campbell (19 August 1872 – 2 December 1947) was a Scottish footballer, who played for Celtic, Aston Villa, Third Lanark and the Scotland national team.

Career[edit]

Campbell was born in Glasgow and began his football career at Junior team Benburb[6] before stepping up to join Celtic in 1890, where he won two league championship titles in season 1892–93 and 1893–94 as well as the Scottish Cupin1892.[7]

He moved to English club Aston Villa in the summer of 1895 and won the English league titlein1895–96, while leading the league in goals with 22. Villa retained the league title in 1896–97 and Campbell scored in the club's FA Cup final triumph against Everton to win the domestic double. Just days later he had the honour of scoring the first goal at Villa Park.

He returned to Celtic soon after and won another league title in season 1897–98 plus a further two Scottish Cup winners medals in 1899 and 1900.[7] He moved to Third Lanark in 1903 and helped them to the league title in his first season with the club,[6][8] having scored a Glasgow Cup-winning goal against his former employers in the opening part of the season,[9][10] although he did not play in Thirds' Scottish Cup win of 1905.[11] He retired in 1906.

Campbell was capped twelve times by Scotland between 1893 and 1903. He scored four goals, including two against Ireland in March 1900. He captained Scotland against Wales in 1902.
