John Law McNeil was a Scottish football player (a centre-half), and manager.
After a spell with non-league Guildford City he moved to Inverness Caledonian from where he joined Plymouth Argyle in August 1934.
He played 143 times, scoring 13 goals for Plymouth, leaving Home Park in the summer of 1939 when he joined Clapton Orient.
He resigned in March 1950 to take the manager's job at Second Division Bury, not before complaining about the low attendances at Plainmoor, even when the team was doing relatively well.
His time at Gigg Lane saw Bury constantly battle against relegation – albeit to his credit this was achieved – until he left in November 1953.
