Jock Fairbairn

John Fairbairn was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Heart of Midlothian in the late 19th century. He won the Scottish Cup with the club in 1891 and 1896, and was a Scottish Football League title winner in 1896–97, playing in all 18 fixtures. His last game for Hearts was in 1898 but he is reported to have signed for Abercorn in 1903, though no appearances were recorded for him with the Paisley club so it is likely he was registered as an experienced backup player for a potential goalkeeping emergency which did not come to pass.
Fairbairn was selected for the Scottish Football League XI in 1893; an under-strength team lost to the Irish League XI in Belfast.
His younger brother James, a forward, also played for Hearts for one season before moving on to England with Nelson, where he played in the Lancashire League.
