John McLean (footballer)

John McLean (born 22 May 1870) was a Scottish footballer who played as a defender for Liverpool in The Football League. McLean signed for Liverpool during the 1894–95 season as reinforcement for their defence which was not performing well. McLean made his debut against Stoke F.C. in a 3–1 defeat, he made a further 20 appearances that season. The following season, he featured less as the only two positions he could play, right and left-back were occupied so he made a total of eight more appearances for Liverpool before he left in 1897.[1]
