John Lambie (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Alexander Lambie (Glasgow, 18 December 1868 -?) was a Scottish football player who still holds the record as the youngest Scotland player and captain of all time.
John Lambie became Scotland's youngest player, and thirteenth and youngest captain, in a game against Ireland which Scotland won 7-2 on 20 March 1886. He was aged just 17 and was making his debut. He scored in this game and made another two Scotland appearances in the days when international games were far less common than they are today. The first of these was against Ireland (again) on 19 February 1887 in a 4-1 win for Scotland, and Lambie's final game was against England on 17 March 1888. Scotland lost 5-0.
