John Browning (27 January 1915 – 14 August 1971) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half for Liverpool and Cowdenbeath.[2] During his spell at Anfield, he was unable to displace the long-serving Jimmy McDougall from his preferred position, making only 19 appearances across five seasons.[3] He moved to Gillingham, but before playing for them, his career was interrupted by the onset of World War II, during which he appeared for Dumbarton,[4][5] Albion Rovers and Cowdenbeath, staying with the Fife club after the conflict ended.

His father, of the same name, was also a footballer, winning Scottish league titles with Celtic[6] and also appearing for Dumbarton.[7][8]
