Who was Dave McEachran?

David McEachran was an early twentieth century Scottish football wing forward who played professionally in Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, Canada and the United States.

In January 1924 McEachran signed with Vale of Leven F.C. in the Scottish Football League. In July 1924, he transferred to Clydebank F.C. in the Scottish Football League. In 1926, he moved to Preston North End of The Football League, playing only one league game on 2 April 1924. That summer, he left Britain to sign with the Fall River Marksmen in the American Soccer League. In May 1927, the Marksmen crushed Holley Carburetor F.C. in the 1927 National Challenge Cup final. McEachran scored two of the Marksmen goals in their 7–0 victory. He began the 1927–1928 season with the Marksmen before transferring to the Boston Soccer Club at the end of the season.

When the ASL was declared an "outlaw league" in the summer of 1928, McEachran moved to the IRT Rangers in the Eastern Soccer League, a rival league created by United States Football Association. He appeared to have returned to the Wonder Workers that season as he played twenty-four games in 1929-1929.
