Career

Kirkpatrick was born in Dumfries, and played for hometown club, Dumfries F.C.,[1] one of the three clubs that merged in 1919 to form Queen of the South.[2] He moved to England in 1911 to play for Plymouth Argyle, then a Southern League club. He made 187 appearances for the club in all competitions either side of the First World War.[3] Kirkpatrick played in Argyle's first game in the Football League, as the Southern League Division One clubs were absorbed to form the Football League Third Division for the 1920–21 season.[4] The last of his 40 appearances in that competition came in 1924,[3] and he then joined Torquay United, still a Southern League club.[1]
