McPherson, known as 'Curly', began his professional career with Rangers[2][3] before moving south of the border to join Liverpool in late 1929 after 18 months at Ibrox,[4] in which he was loaned to East Stirlingshire then had a role as back-up to Bob McPhail, deciding to leave as he was unlikely to displace the Scottish international despite impressing when he did fill in while McPhail was injured.
He was to be a regular in Liverpool's first-team for the next five years, playing as an inside-left and forming a partnership with Fred Hopkin.
Described as a skilful player and an accurate passer, in December 1934 he moved on to Sheffield United, where he was employed as a wing-half.
He featured on the losing side in the 1936 FA Cup Final, before returning to Scotland to spend one year at Falkirk[5] then short spells at East Fife and Dundee United up to the outbreak of World War II,[6] after which he retired.
