John Smith Jackson Maconnachie (8 May 1885 – 1956) was a Scottish professional football player and manager.
Born in Aberdeen, Maconnachie spent his early career in his native Scotland with Glasgow Perthshire and Hibernian,[1] before moving to English side Everton in 1907. Between September 1907 and May 1915 Maconnachie made 229 appearances in the English Football League,[2] [3] winning the competition as team captain in 1914–15 before the regular competitions were suspended during World War I, during which he served in the British Army, then as a mechanic in the Royal Air Force.[4] He resumed his football career when the conflict was over and played one further top level season for Everton (16 league appearances, 2 goals) in 1919–20.[5] [6]
Maconnachie then moved to Swindon Town, making a further 55 appearances in the Football League Third Division (South) over two seasons.[7] He moved to Sweden in 1922 to become manager of Djurgårdens IF, a club he had played for as a guest during the war, and then on loan,[5] [4] but soon returned to England, making one more appearance for Swindon in January 1923. He later managed Barrow between 1927 and 1928;[8] now well into his 40s, he played twice for them in February 1928.[5] [4]
