John White (27 August 1897 – 11 February 1986) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward. He played for Albion Rovers and Heart of Midlothian (two spells) in his native country, and Leeds United in England.[2][3] While at Hearts, in 1926 he achieved the highly unusual feat of scoring four goals in three successive matches.[4][5]
He also gained two caps for the Scotland national team,[6][7] and is the only Albion Rovers player ever to be capped while on the club's books.[8][9][10]
Personal life
Born in Coatbridge, Jock White was one of four brothers who played top-class football[4][11] — Willie was a goalkeeper with Hamilton Academical, Hearts and Southampton, Tom a winger who played with Hearts[12] and Alloa Athletic, and Jimmy aka 'Tec' a forward with Albion Rovers (playing alongside Jock in the 1920 Scottish Cup Final which Albion lost to Kilmarnock),[13][14] Motherwell and in the United States.[15] All four brothers played together for Hearts in the Lord Provost's Rent Relief Cup final of 1923 which their side won through two goals from Jock.[16]
He was also the brother-in-law of Andrew Anderson, a team-mate at Hearts for four seasons.[2]
