Biog

Signed from Glasgow Hibernian in 1890 John Cunningham was an outside-left who made his debut for the Bhoys in a 5-0 league win at Cowlairs on April 29 1891.

He played eight times for Celtic before signing for Partick Thistle in 1892. He also went on to play for Hearts, Rangers and Preston North End where he stayed for several seasons. Quite a feat when Willie Maley predicated that he was "destined to have a very short football career but which might have been a very fine one".

Played against Celtic once in 1898 in the British Championship double leg v Sheffield Utd (he played in the 1-1 second leg draw).
