Template:Infobox football biography John Cameron Fraser (born 24 May 1941) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a full back.[1] He played 80 games for Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Football League and a further 72 for Aston Villa and Birmingham City in the English Football League.[2]

Playing career

Fraser, born in Blackford, Perth and Kinross, began his football career as a youngster with Gairdoch United before joining Dunfermline Athletic in 1958 at the age of 17.[1] Under Jock Stein's management at Dunfermline, he was a Scottish Cup-winner in 1961, defeating Celtic 2–0 in the replay after the original tie had finished goalless.[3][4] Fraser, then 19, was the youngest player in the squad.[5] This victory meant that Dunfermline qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup. Fraser played in the club's run to the quarter-final, in which they lost to Újpesti Dózsa 5–3 on aggregate, though he missed the first leg of the quarter-final due to influenza apparently brought on by a vaccination.[6][7] He was twice capped for Scotland at under-23 level during his time with Dunfermline.[1][8]

In October 1962, Fraser joined English First Division club Aston Villa for a fee of £24,000,[9] which paid for Dunfermline's new main stand.[5] He played 40 games for Aston Villa in all competitions, and was on the losing side in the 1963 Football League Cup final against Birmingham City. Following a contractual dispute with the club he quit, joining his wife's hairdressing business in London, before returning to football in February 1965 with Birmingham City, who paid Villa a £9,000 fee for his services.[1][9]

Fraser made a few appearances in attack for Birmingham, relegated to the Second Division at the end of the 1964–65 season, and played regularly at right-back the following season.[10] He then returned to Scotland to join Falkirk, though never played for the first team.[1][2]

Personal life

In 2007, Fraser was reported as spending much of his time in Australia and the Far East.[11] His father William played professional football for Aldershot and Northampton Town.[1]
