Wilkie, John I remember John when he played for Elgin City in the Scottish Highland Football League in the mid 1970s. John also lived in a Club house near Elgin Railway Station at that time. A very skillfull winger with great pace. Was not a surprise to all in the Highland League that John went onto a higher in the English Football League.

John I remember John well when he was with Elgin City in the Scottish Highland Football League. A very skill full and fast winger. I also remember when before he signed for Elgin, he was with Keith FC also in the Highland League, and he signed for Morton in the Scottish League, John went immediately into the Saturday first team before Morton's cheque to Keith "bounced". The Scottish Football Association became involved and Ross County FC, also a Highland League side at that time, financially bailed out Morton, and John was subsequently transferred to Ross County, all within about 2 weeks,.
I often wonder where John is now.
