MacKenzie was the only native Gaelic speaker to be capped at football by Scotland
3 Johnny made his first-team debut in August 1948, and was chosen for the Scotland Tour to North America – one of the few uncapped players to travel. Back home, he helped Thistle to League Cup finals in 1953, 1956 and 1959, but losing all three, the team’s reputation for unpredictable results told against him. In November 1953, John-Archie was awarded his first cap, in a 3-3 Hampden draw with Wales.
4 In the Scotland v Hungary game in December 1954, which Hungary won 4-2, Hungarian captain Ferenc Puskas described Johnny’s performance as “the most-magnificent display of wing play I have ever seen”. He was so fast he became known as the Firhill Flyer.5 Johnny left Thistle in 1960 after more than 400 games. He played for Dumbarton, and Derry City, with whom he won an Irish Cup-winners’ medal, and ended his career as a trainer with Third Lanark during the final days of the club.
