Biography

McGlashan initially joined the club on a 3 month loan deal from Dundee in August 1998, before signing for Ross County later that season. In the summer of 2000, McGlashan decided to return to Gayfield permanently and he had two hugely successful seasons, starting off with a promotion before an excellent first campaign in the First Division in which relegation was successfully avoided. The following season was a poor one for Arbroath, with an injured McGlashan missing a large spell of the season but he returned and played nearly every game of the following campaign and helped keep our place in the Second Division. In his final season at Gayfield he missed large parts of the season due to further injury problems, and he left that summer to manager Dundee Violet, before returning to Gayfield later that year as our manager.

John very sadly passed away in January 2018 aged 50 after battling Motor Neurone Disease, and he is extremely well remembered not just for his footballing ability, but for the fantastic person he was.

  • Signed For Arbroath

    McGlashan initially joined the club on a 3 month loan deal from Dundee in August 1998, before signing for Ross County later that season. In the summer of 2000, McGlashan decided to return to Gayfield permanently and he had two hugely successful seasons, starting off with a promotion before an excellent first campaign in the First Division in which relegation was successfully avoided.

    Saturday, August 1st, 1998

  • Debut - Arbroath 2 - 1 Forfar

    The sun had disappeared but it was still a fine warm Saturday for the first local derby of the season against Forfar Athletic at Gayfield. Feeling my age, with a gammy hip, I limped into the ground where, at long last, they were selling the new home strip - the away ones have not yet arrived. The pie, this was not an official testing session, was superb (for a change) and so good that I went to get another (which was also superb) before kick off - then had indigestion for the rest of the match.

    Saturday, August 29th, 1998

  • First Goal - Arbroath 2 - 1 Queen of South

    Now into the second quarter of the season and the lure of the cheap entrance into Gayfield had turned the clock back to the heady days when the car from Stonehaven was full for the journey down to Gayfield. Well maybe it wasn’t the cheap fitba but the fact that, due to the Tattie Holidays, the Stonehaven under 14s were not playing today thus allowing the hatchet midfielder, Martin, to return to Gayfield along with Shona who was back from Edinburgh for the weekend and had nothing better to do this afternoon. The final place in the car was taken by the missus who was not attracted by the cheap price but was going to see my mother who was also not attracted by the £5 entrance.

    Saturday, October 10th, 1998

  • Last Goal - Forfar 1 - 1 Arbroath

    Bitter Loons gaffer Brian Fairley accused battling Arbroath of stealing a point after they launched a late smash and grab raid.

    Saturday, February 19th, 2005

  • Last Appearance - Arbroath 0 - 0 Dumbarton

    High-flying Dumbarton missed the opportunity to close the gap on runaway leaders East Fife with a goalless stalemate at Arbroath.
