John Finlay Brown (18 May 1902 – 1977) was a Scottish footballer. His regular position was defender. Joining from Newtongrange Star where he had been a member of the team that dominated the Midlothian Junior League, [4] he played for Dundee (his only club at the professional level) for a decade, [5] featuring on the losing side in the 1925 Scottish Cup Final. [6] He was selected once for the Scottish League XI in 1931. [7] [2] Following his departure from Dundee in 1934 it was speculated locally that he may join Darlington in England, [8] but it appears this did not transpire.
In 1930, Brown was involved in an on-field collision with opponent Daniel McKenzie of Aberdeen, who later died from his injuries a year later, aged 22. [9]
