John Archie MacKenzie (also spelled McKenzie; 4 September 1925 – 5 July 2017) was a Scottish footballer who spent most of his career with Partick Thistle, where he was known as the "Firhill Flyer". Career Club An outside right, he joined Partick Thistle from Petershill in 1944 and played most of the next 16 years with the Maryhill club. He played for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic during the 1947-48 season whilst on military service in Dorset but became a first-team regular upon his return to Partick Thistle. During his career he helped the Jags side to three Scottish League Cup finals in 1953, 1956 and 1958, but they lost on each occasion. MacKenzie briefly left Partick in March 1958, when he signed for Fulham for £1,000, but he returned three months later. He left the club for good in 1960, going on to play for Dumbarton and Derry City, where he won his only medal in the 1964 Irish Cup. He was briefly a trainer with Third Lanark, joining in January 1967, but the club folded later that year.
