John Patrick (10 January 1870 – 30 November 1945) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper in the 1890s.[2]
Patrick was born in Kilsyth, and after playing for Grangemouth and Falkirk he joined St Mirren.[2][3] In 1896 he had a trial in the Football League with Everton but he only played one league game before returning to St Mirren,[4] continuing as the regular goalkeeper until 1901[3] (Livingstone Rae became the new regular following a year when several players were tried).
Patrick made his debut for the Scotland national football team on 20 March 1897 against Wales in Wrexham.[5] His second and final cap for Scotland came two weeks later against England.[1][5] He also represented the Scottish Football League XI on two occasions.[2][6]
