John Ogston

John Kessack Ogston (15 January 1939 – 16 August 2017) was a Scottish professional footballer, who played as a goalkeeper for Aberdeen, Liverpool and Doncaster Rovers.[4]

Ogston was born in Aberdeen and played youth football with Banks O' Dee where he won the Scottish Junior Cup in 1957.[5] A year later in 1958, he started his professional career with Aberdeen. He was fondly known as "Tubby" in his time there.[5]

He joined English club Liverpool for a fee of £10,000 in September 1965, but his only first team appearance was in a 3-1 League victory over Newcastle United on 7 April 1967.[5]

He moved to Doncaster Rovers in 1968 on loan, and then signed permanently the following season.[5] Whilst at Doncaster, he was a member of the Fourth Division title winning side of 1968–69,[6] and made a total of 77 appearances in League and cup.[5]

In 1971, he returned north of the border to play for Buckie Thistle for a season,[5] before playing with several teams in the Highland League, including Huntly, Rothes, Fraserburgh, and Deveronvale.[5][7] He finally retired on 16 September 1974.[7]
