Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox football biography Archibald Johnston McPherson (10 February 1909 – 1969) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside left or left half, with his longest spell being with Liverpool. He was later a manager, in charge of Alloa Athletic for a decade.

Career

McPherson, known as 'Curly', began his professional career with Rangers[1][2] before moving south of the border to join Liverpool in late 1929 after 18 months at Ibrox,[3] in which he was loaned to East Stirlingshire then had a role as back-up to Bob McPhail, deciding to leave as he was unlikely to displace the Scottish international despite impressing when he did fill in while McPhail was injured. He was to be a regular in Liverpool's first-team for the next five years, playing as an inside-left and forming a partnership with Fred Hopkin.

Described as a skilful player and an accurate passer, in December 1934 he moved on to Sheffield United, where he was employed as a wing-half. He featured on the losing side in the 1936 FA Cup Final, before returning to Scotland to spend one year at Falkirk[4] then short spells at East Fife and Dundee United up to the outbreak of World War II,[5] after which he retired. He later managed Alloa Athletic for ten years,[6] until a short time before his death in 1969.[2]

He also played cricket, as a batsman, for Clackmannan County in the Scottish Counties Championship.[7]
