Jock Ewart - real name John - was a popular member of the City playing staff either side of the World War 1, largely due to his brave displays and brave positional play.

In 1921 he achieved every Scottish footballers' ambition by playing against England.

Jock first played football with Douglas Park, a junior club near his Oakbank home before moving in turn to Bellshill Rovers, Bellshill Athletic and Larkhall Thistle.

He signed professional forms for Airdieonians in March 1909. City signed him for £1,200 in May 1912 and he resumed his career after WW1, despite having suffered shell-shock while on active service.

Then in July 1923 Airdieonians persuaded him to rejoin them, they paid City £300 and Ewart went on to help them to a Scottish Cup success over Hibernian.

In May 1927 City resigned him in their bid to return to Division 2 at the first attempt. They failed and twelve months later Ewart signed for Preston North End.

He toured North America with Preston in May 1929 and two years later, four months into retirement he was suspended sine die by the Football Association for his alleged involvement in a match-rigging affair surrounding a Bradford City vs Bury game.

He returned to the game as a trainer but eventually became a publican.
