Dave McEachran

David McEachran (5 December 1903 – 21 January 1983) was a Scottish football wing forward who played professionally in Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, Canada and the United States.

Career In January 1924 McEachran signed with Vale of Leven F.C. in the Scottish Football League. In July 1924, he transferred to Clydebank. In 1926, he moved to Preston North End of The Football League, playing only one league game on 2 April 1926. That summer, he left Britain to sign with the Fall River in the American Soccer League. In May 1927, the 'Marksmen' crushed Holley Carburetor F.C. in the 1927 National Challenge Cup final. McEachran scored two of the 'Marksmen' goals in their 7–0 victory. He began the 1927–28 season with the 'Marksmen' before transferring to the Boston Soccer Club at the end of the season.

When the ASL was declared an "outlaw league" in the summer of 1928, McEachran moved to the IRT Rangers in the Eastern Soccer League, a rival league created by United States Football Association. He appeared to have returned to the 'Wonder Workers' that season as he played twenty-four games in 1928–29. The 'Wonder Workers' folded at the end of the season and McEachran moved to the Boston Bears for the fall 1929 season. He then transferred to the New Bedford Whalers for the 1929–1930 season. After eight games, he moved to the Providence Gold Bugs. In May 1930, he moved to Canada where he played with Montréal Carsteel FC of the National Soccer League, winning the Carls-Rite Cup as a member of the Montreal all-star team. He was in Montreal as late as October 1932 when Montréal Carsteel FC lost the league championship to Toronto Ulster.

He returned to Scotland and signed with St Johnstone in November 1932, though his contract was cancelled one month later. His career ended in 1933 due to a knee injury while playing for Linfield in Northern Ireland.
