John William Madden (11 June 1865 – 17 April 1948) was a Scottish footballer who played for Dumbarton,[1] Gainsborough Trinity, Grimsby Town, Celtic, Dundee,[2] Tottenham Hotspur[3] and the Scotland national team.

[4] At Celtic, where he played for eight years, he won the Scottish Cup in 1892 (also losing in two other finals, adding to a defeat with Dumbarton in 1887) and the Scottish Football League title in 1892–93, 1893–94 and 1895–96, playing a leading role in their establishment as one of the leading clubs in the country,[5] though he had been on the verge of leaving to join Sheffield Wednesday before professional contracts were officially introduced in Scottish football in 1893.

[8][9] Between 1905 and 1930, Madden was the manager of SK Slavia Praha, and is considered an important figure in the development of the sport in the Bohemia region (at that time another Scot, Johnny Dick, was in charge of Slavia's city rivals Sparta).

[10] A stand at Slavia's Eden Arena is named after him, and each year a supporter group pays tribute at his grave in Prague, where he lived until his death.

The grave is located in Section 1 of Area 1, which is in the south east corner of the sprawling cemetery.
