John "Jock" Paterson (1926 – 14 January 2000) was a British footballer, who played for Hibernian and Ayr United.[2] [3]
Paterson went three consecutive seasons without missing a league game for Hibs and he played in every game of the championship winning 1951–52 season.[4] Paterson played for the Scottish Football League XI in the following season, in a 3–0 defeat by a Welsh select team.[1] He was unable to play for the Scotland national football team due to his English birthplace.[5]
His son, Craig Paterson, also played for Hibernian.[5] Paterson died in January 2000; a moment's silence was observed in his memory at the next Hibs home match.[6]

His total of four seasons with a 100% record is almost replicated by John Paterson, Alan Sneddon and Jim Leighton, each of whom had three seasons without missing a game, Leighton's three being consecutive campaigns. In Hibs' championship winning season of 1951/52 three players – John Paterson, Hugh Howie and Jock Govan – didn't miss a single game. That record was bettered in season 1976/77 when Mike MacDonald, John Brownlie, Des Bremner and Bobby Smith all sailed through the term without missing a single league game.. dead. https://archive.today/20130420114354/http://www.hibsprogrammes.co.uk/a-z%20%20a.html. 20 April 2013. dmy-all.
