2 comments so far (post your own)Johnny McLeod joined the club in 1957. A tall, rangy winger he was a notable goalscorer and that, allied to his speed and trickery, made him a firm favourite with the fans. At Arsenal he scored the Gunners' first-ever goal in European competition - Vs Staevnet (Denmark) on 25/09/1963 in Fairs Cup (A 7-1).
Also played for Aston Villa, Mechelen (Belgium), Raith Rovers & Newtongrange Star.

Johnny was anything but a tall ranger winger. He was at best 5'5" Very speedy and formed a great partnership with Joe Baker. Joe and Johnny were a great team and won many games for Hibs at that time.
