He was also a qualified medical doctor. Early lifeMacdonald was born in Inverness on 24 December 1861, the eldest of eight children.[1] His father was a house painter, local magistrate, and town councillor, while his mother was the daughter of a local farmer.[1] He attended Inverness Royal Academy where he played cricket, tennis, and rugby.[1] Edinburgh University and cricket careerMacdonald attended the University of Edinburgh, graduating with a medical degree in 1884.[1] He played for the University at cricket, and while a student he represented Scotland at cricket in a three-day international against the Australians in September 1880, at the age of 18.[1] He also played for Scotland in an exhibition game against a group of American tourists, the Gentlemen of Philadelphia, in June 1884.[1] He was captain of the University side throughout 1884 and scored over 1,000 runs that year.[1] During his time at the University he also switched from rugby football to association football.[1] He captained the University's football team.[9] Football careerMacdonald represented a Glasgow select side in 1885 in a 5–2 victory against a London select side at The Oval.[1] He made one appearance for Scotland in March 1886, against England.[2] In doing so he became the first Scotsman to represent their country at both cricket and football; it would be another 50 years before another sportsman (Scot Symon) represented Scotland at both sports.[1] In that match he played as a left half,[1] though he usually played as a "strong and capable centre-half."[2] He also played as an amateur for Queen's Park,[2] making 11 appearances.[3] Later life and deathMacdonald returned to Inverness to set up a medical practice, and he eventually became Chief Medical Officer for both Inverness Burgh and Inverness County Council.[1] He was married with five children.[1] He continued his involvement in both cricket and football - captaining local team Northern Counties and representing a North of Scotland XI in the former, and becoming a Patron of the Highland League in 1932 in the latter.[1] Macdonald died in Edinburgh on 29 August 1938, at the age of 76.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 {{cite web|url=http://www.cricketscotland.com/news/article/forgotten-cricketfootball-international-rediscover/|title=FORGOTTEN CRICKET/FOOTBALL INTERNATIONAL REDISCOVERED|date=26 February 2014|accessdate=10 May 2015|author=David Gordon|publisher=Cricket Scotland}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Macdonald, John}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|title=Scotland Who's Who: International Players 1872–2013|author=Paul Smith|publisher=Pitch Publishing|year=2013|page=161}} 3. ^http://www.qpfc.com/appearances/mc/mcdonaldjw.htm 14 : 1861 births|1938 deaths|Scottish footballers|Scotland international footballers|Edinburgh University A.F.C. players|Queen's Park F.C. players|Association football defenders|Scottish cricketers|Scotland cricketers|Alumni of the University of Edinburgh|19th-century Scottish medical doctors|20th-century Scottish medical doctors|Sportspeople from Inverness|People educated at Inverness Royal Academy |
