Jock Caldwell

Life and career Caldwell was born in Shawwood, Ayrshire. He must have justified the opinion, because he was ever-present through the 1894–95 season and missed only one match in the next, in partnership with regular right-back Joe Powell. At the end of the season, he returned to Scotland and joined Third Lanark. He was reported to have been willing to stay, but his wife-to-be was reluctant to move south.

Caldwell continued his good form with Third Lanark. He was selected for the Glasgow Association team to face Sheffield, and was touted for full international honours. At the end of November 1896, Joe Powell died of blood poisoning and tetanus after breaking his arm during a match. Caldwell was reportedly anxious to return to his former club, and within weeks, he was back. He played in most matches of what remained of the season and the start of the next, but Alex McConnell also came into consideration at left back. and he finished the campaign playing at right back.
