John Vance Milne (25 March 1911 – 29 August 1959) was a Scottish footballer who played for Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal and Middlesbrough.[2] Arsenal won the old First Division in 1937–38 and he made 16 league appearances, enough for a winner's medal.[3] He later played for Dumbarton for six seasons and was their manager for a seventh, but this was during the entire span of World War II and none of his 164 appearances there were in official competitions.[4] At the end of the war, he accepted an invitation to play in Mexico, alongside Tom McKillop and Jimmy Hickie.[5][6]
Milne represented Scotland twice.[7]
