Hamish James Todd MacKenzie (born 11 March 1945) is a retired Scottish professional football full back who appeared in the Football League for Brentford.[1]
Career
Early years
MacKenzie began his career in his native Scotland with Woodburn Athletic,[2] before joining Division Two side Liverpool in 1960 and making his reserve team debut during the 1961–62 season.[3] He signed a professional contract in March 1962, but remained in the reserves and failed to make a first team appearance before departing Anfield in 1963.[1] MacKenzie made 20 reserve team outings for Liverpool.[3][4] MacKenzie returned to his native Scotland to join Scottish Division One side Dunfermline Athletic, but failed to make an appearance during the 1963–64 season and departed the club at the end of the campaign.[1]
Brentford
MacKenzie returned to England to sign for Division Three side Brentford in 1964, managed by Scot Malky McDonald.[1] MacKenzie was mostly confined to the Bees' reserve team during his first two seasons, making just three first team appearances.[5] MacKenzie made a breakthrough of sorts during the 1966–67 season, making 20 appearances,[6] but financial cutbacks at the stricken club forced his release in the summer of 1967.[1] He made just 23 first team appearances, but found success with the reserve team,[5] winning the London Challenge Cup in 1965 and 1967.[7]
Personal life
MacKenzie's uncle, Duncan McKenzie, was also a professional footballer and played for Brentford and Middlesbrough.[1]
