John Cox (1911 – 17 September 1990) was a Scottish football player and manager.[1] He served Hamilton Academical (where he spent the majority of his playing career, making over 200 appearances in the right half position),[2] Ayr United and St Mirren[3] (the latter as a World War II guest) as both player and manager.[2] [4] [5] He also had a short spell in English football with Preston North End,[6] and after the conflict ended he finished his career with Stranraer.[2]
His cousin Sammy Cox was also a footballer who played at international level for Scotland and at club level for Rangers;[7] while manager at Hamilton, he signed his nephew – also John/Jackie – for the club, although the younger Cox made only one league appearance for Accies[8] (he also featured for Stranraer, and briefly for Kilmarnock).[9]
