John Napier Malloch (2 November 1877 – 26 December 1935) was an English footballer who played as an outside left for Dundee,[2] The Wednesday, Barnsley and South Kirkby.
[4] In April 1900 Malloch and fellow Dundee player John Low had been playing together in England and joined The Wednesday (Sheffield) on trial, with their prospective club, Brighton United in financial difficulties.
[8] Following this Malloch found himself confined to the reserves, and on New Year's Eve 1908 he transferred to local rivals Barnsley.
[9] His time at Barnsley began with a series of poor performances[10] and by September he had moved on to South Kirkby.
The final of the Wharncliffe Cup saw Malloch return to familiar territory at Owlerton Stadium, where South Kirkby met his old rivals Sheffield United.
