John McCashney (footballer, born 1932)

John McCashney (born 1932) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a centre forward. He is best known for his time with Queen of the South during the 1950s.

McCashney began his career in junior football before joining Queen of the South in 1953. He quickly established himself in the first team, becoming a regular goalscorer for the Dumfries club. He was known for his powerful shot and aerial ability. While at Queen of the South, he helped the team achieve a respectable league position in the Scottish First Division (the top tier at the time).

After several seasons with Queen of the South, McCashney moved on to play for other clubs, including Albion Rovers. Details of his later career are less readily available, but records indicate he continued to play professionally for a number of years.

Further details regarding his specific goal totals, cup appearances, and international honors (if any) are scarce and require further research.
