Ted MacDougall

MacDougall was born and raised in Inverness, moving to Widnes, Lancashire, with his parents shortly after his 12th birthday. He subsequently played in a local men's amateur league, and worked as a trainee compositor on a local newspaper.

Liverpool

MacDougall joined Liverpool as an apprentice in 1964 and, on the day he turned 19, he was offered a professional contract at Anfield by manager Bill Shankly. However, MacDougall did not make it at Liverpool, where Ian St. John, Roger Hunt and Tony Hateley shared the goal-scoring duties, and made no first-team appearances.

York City

In 1967 MacDougall left Liverpool to join Fourth Division York City for £5,000. He quickly established himself as a prolific centre-forward. He scored on his debut against Workington, and went on to finish with 15 goals in his first season at Bootham Crescent. In the following season MacDougall linked up for the first time with Phil Boyer, who helped him score 19 times despite the fact that York were struggling near the bottom of the table.

In February 1980, MacDougall left Bournemouth to join Alan Ball's Blackpool as player-coach until October 1980 and thereafter was restricted to occasional matches in non-League football at Salisbury City, Poole Town and Gosport Borough. In June 1998 he rejoined Alan Ball as reserve-team coach at Portsmouth, but was sacked with Ball on 14 December 1999. MacDougall also spent time based in Atlanta, USA, where he was youth Director of Coaching with the Atlanta Silverbacks.

Whilst at Bournemouth, MacDougall started his own business – a sports shop in Boscombe called "Ted MacDougall Sports", with another branch opened in Poole later on. The Boscombe branch was given a grand opening by Geoff Hurst. He was for a period the landlord of the Mill Arms public house at Dunbridge, Hampshire. When he had finished playing at non-League level, he went to live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he became a successful property developer. In July 2013, the redeveloped southern stand at Bournemouth's Dean Court stadium was named after MacDougall in recognition of his service at the club.
