John McNee (better known as Jack, born 30 March 1866)[1] was a Scottish footballer. He played as an inside forward in both English and Scottish football.
Born in Renton, Dunbartonshire, McNee started his career in the village with Renton Wanderers. He later joined the village's stronger club, Renton F.C., and scored for them in their 6–1 win over Cambuslang in the 1888 Scottish Cup Final.[1][2]
McNee later moved to England, and played in the Football League for Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United. He joined Southern League side West Hertfordshire in October 1897; they subsequently renamed as Watford at the end of the season.[1] McNee was a regular first-team player in his first season at the club, and ever-present in his second. In 1899–1900, McNee scored 20 goals in all competitions as Watford won both the Southern League Second Division and the Bucks and Contiguous Counties League.[3] He left Watford at the end of the season, and later played for Fulham.[1]
