}}John McMenemy (9 February 1908 – 5 February 1983) was a Scottish footballer, who played for Celtic, Motherwell, Partick Thistle, St Mirren and Scotland.[1]

Career

Club

Born in Glasgow, McMenemy played as an Inside-right. He began his career with local Junior club St Roch's before signing for Celtic in 1925, aged 17. He remained a squad player during his three seasons with the club, making 15 league appearances.[2][3] He played only one match in the Scottish Cup: the final of the 1926–27 edition, which his team won with a 3–1 victory over East Fife.[3]

In 1928, McMenemy moved to fellow top-tier club Motherwell where he became an important member of the side in the most prominent period of their history under manager 'Sailor' Hunter.[4] They finished third in the league in 1929 (albeit a huge margin behind Rangers), narrowed the gap to five points as runners-up in 1930, and to four in third place in 1931. In the 1931 Scottish Cup McMenemy played in another final, but Motherwell lost to his former club Celtic in a replay,[5] having conceded a last-minute equaliser in the first match at Hampden Park despite leading by two goals (one by McMenemy).[6]

The following season, 1931–32, saw Motherwell become league champions for the first and only time.[8] In 1932–33 the Steelmen came close to success again, but finished second in the league and once more were defeated by Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final.[7] They finished just behind champions Rangers and reached the Scottish Cup semi-finals in 1934, but had now peaked as a group, dropping down to seventh place the next season.

It is also worth noting that McMenemy's primary role was as a creator, and that the Motherwell centre forward Willie MacFadyen scored a huge number of league goals (194, including 52 in the title-winning campaign)[8] during five consecutive seasons they played alongside one another.

in 1936 McMenemy, now aged 28, departed from Fir Park, signing for Partick Thistle for a fee of £1,000.[8] In January 1938 he moved again within the Greater Glasgow area to play with St Mirren, being released in May 1939 after making just 11 appearances for the Paisley club.[9][10]

International

McMenemy received one cap for Scotland (replacing his brother in the squad who had pulled out due to injury),[14] a 3–2 loss to Wales in Cardiff. He also appeared three times for the Scottish League XI, all during his spell with Motherwell.[11]

Personal life

John was the son of Celtic player Jimmy (winner of the Scottish Football League championship[12] and the Scottish Cup[13] several times each, the last in 1921) and the elder brother of Harry[14] (winner of the FA Cup with Newcastle United in 1932)[15][16] who both also played in the inside forward position. Another brother, Joe, featured for Strathclyde Juniors in the 1930s.[17] They are distantly related to Lawrie McMenemy.[15]

In 2016, his Motherwell championship medal was auctioned[18] with the winning bidder loaning the item back to the club for display.[19]
