Profile: |
Full Name: John Robert Harris
Harris joined up at Pittodrie from Queen's Park in 1946, and was originally a centre forward. However, a switch to the right wing proved to be a shrewd change. Not the fastest player, Harris was a constatant and hard working trier and part of the Dons 1947 Cup side. True Dons stalwart, Harris moved back to right half later in his career, as his eight-year spell with the club was coming to a close. Although known as Tony his full name was John Robert Harris. During and after his football career, Tony practiced dentistry in King Street, Aberdeen.
In the late 1960's Harris was involved with an attempt by a group of local businessmen to unseat the board and replace them with new faces at Pittodrie.
Died: Glasgow, 25/08/2000
