John Gould Veitch, Jr. (19 July 1869 – 3 October 1914)[1] was an English amateur footballer, who played for the Corinthian club in the 1890s.
In the 1891–92 season, he played in thirteen of Corinthian's 16 fixtures, scoring twelve goals, including a hat-trick against Scottish side Renton on 18 April 1892.
Lewis Vaughan Lodge (Cambridge University) made the first of five appearances at right back; Arthur Topham (Casuals) made his solitary England appearance at left half while the third débutante was John Veitch who played at inside left, alongside his fellow Old Westminster Rupert Sandilands.
He did not enjoy good health for long as he had weak lungs and suffered from premature deafness.
He did not, however, have the ability to run the business successfully, and his uncle Sir Harry Veitch returned to take over control.
