Jack Lornie (2 March 1939 – 16 December 2014) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward in the Football League for Leicester City, Luton Town, Carlisle United and Tranmere Rovers.[1][2][3] When Lornie finished his career in the English leagues, he moved back to his native Scotland in the summer of 1966 and signed for Dingwall-based, Scottish Highland Football League Club, Ross County FC (Now an established Scottish Premier League Club). Lornie spent circa 10 years at Ross County where he finished as First Team Coach. When Jack was freed by Carlisle United in June 1964, he was about to sign on a part time basis for Inverness Caledonian FC in the Scottish Highland Football League, however, Tranmere Rovers stepped in which gave Jack another two seasons on a full time basis in the English Football League.
