John "Jocky" Petrie (21 June 1867 – 13 July 1932) was a Scottish footballer who played for Arbroath as a forward. He holds the record for the most goals ever scored in a senior British football game with 13 goals.[2]
Petrie signed for Arbroath from local club Strathmore. On 12 September 1885, Petrie, at the age of 18, scored 13 times for Arbroath in a record 36–0 win over Bon Accord.[3] In 1891, Petrie signed for Distillery, playing in the Irish League for a season, before returning to Arbroath. After retiring from football, Petrie later held roles as a kitman, trainer and groundsman for Arbroath until his retirement in 1920, where his career was commemorated with a benefit match against rivals Forfar Athletic, held on his behalf.[4]
At an international level, his record was not equaled until 2001 by Archie Thompson who scored 13 goals for Australia in a 31–0 win over American Samoa.
A street in Arbroath, Petrie Way, is named in his honour.[5]
In 2017, Petrie was inducted into Arbroath's hall of fame.[6]
