Hi John, I see you have recently edited the Wikipedia article on Jock Simpson. Are you aware that a number of Irish books/sources refer to a John, Jack or Jock Simpson playing for Shelbourne F.C. in the League of Ireland during the mid 1920s. I believe this maybe the same player although this would contradict some of the info you have posted. While researching my book Ireland’s First Real World Cup -The Story of the 1924 Ireland Olympic Football Team, I came across this Simpson on several occasions. He had a fairly eventful career with Shelbourne. In 1924 in played for an FAI XI against Celtic in an Olympic fundraiser . The same year he also played for a Shelbourne XI against the Ireland Olympic team. He is also listed as Shelbourne’s top goalscorer in the 1925-26 League of Ireland. There is a British Pathe film clip of the FAI XI available online. Djln --Djln (talk) 18:55, 25 June 2013 (UTC) see also List of Shelbourne F.C. seasons[reply]
