John Campbell (7 March 1910 – 6 July 1999)[2] was a Scottish professional footballer who scored 116 goals from 205 games in the Football League playing as a forward for Leicester City and Lincoln City.
[2] Once moved to play at centre forward rather than at outside right, Campbell began to score freely,[2] and was Lincoln's top scorer for four consecutive seasons, from 1934–35 to 1937–38.
[4] By the time he retired from League football due to injury in the summer of 1939, Campbell had produced 108 goals from only 193 first-team games.
He then joined Midland League club Scunthorpe & Lindsey United,[2] returning to Lincoln to play in the wartime competitions.
[5] Campbell went on to complete his studies, earning a degree in chemistry and ophthalmics, and became superintendent chemist/optician for the Lincoln Co-operative Society.
