John Brownlie

John Brownlie was born in Caldercruix (Lanarkshire) on 11 March 1952.
Brownlie was a pioneering right back who played a crucial role in the entertaining and enterprising Hibernian side of the early 1970s. He developed the traditional tackling role of the full back into an attacking option, with his surging runs down the wing, from where he could deliver many a telling cross. He joined Hibs from Pumpherston Juniors in 1969, and had nine years at Easter Road, winning seven caps in the process.
