In 1991, John McGinlay moved south to link up with Millwall, and it was here where he first linked up with the much-respected former Scotland star Bruce Rioch, a manager whom he was later to link up with at Bolton. While at Millwall, he played up front with Teddy Sheringham and his teammate Kasey Keller (former US Men’s National Team captain/current goalkeeper for Fulham) played in goal. McGinlay eventually moved on to Bolton and formed a useful goal scoring partnership with Andy Walker as Bolton finished runners up to Stoke City in the old Division Two.
Whilst scoring in the FA Cup games against higher opposition such as Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal, McGinlay also proved he could be consistent at league level. In 1993-94 he scored 25 goals in a mid-table Bolton team thus resulting in the first of 14 caps for Scotland.
The following year he helped Bolton get to the League Cup final where they lost out to Liverpool, but the anguish felt was soon quelled with an enthralling Play-Off Final win over Reading at Wembley Stadium. McGinlay suffered from injuries in Bolton's first crack at Premiership football, but was still Bolton's top league goal scorer that season with six goals to his credit. Sadly this could not keep the club in the top division and they were relegated after just one disappointing season.
McGinlay, a determined and passionate character, was one of the key Bolton players in 1996–97 season who ensured that Bolton regained their place in the Premiership. He shared 54 goals with strike partner Nathan Blake which helped send the Wanderers up as First Division champions with a record 98 points and 100 goals tally. Two of these goals in April 1997, a penalty and one from open-play against Charlton Athletic, proved to be the last goals scored at the old Burnden Park stadium prior to re-location to the Reebok Stadium.
John was voted by Bolton fans as the greatest striker in Bolton’s history. In 2004 he represented Bolton Wanderers on local radio station Tower FM. He later went on to present a celebrity edition of BBC's Cash in the Attic but moved back to America later that year. John is currently the Boys Director of Coaching with Cincinnati United Premier.
