You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Neil McBain''' (15 November 1895&nbsp;– 13 May 1974) was a Scottish professional [[association football|footballer]] and football manager. He remains the oldest player to appear in an English [[Football League]] match aged 51 years.<ref>[http://allfootballers.com/statsc.php?bid=oldestlp www.allfootballers.com Oldest League players]((dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>

==Playing career==
===Club===
McBain, a [[wing half]], began his senior football career in the summer of 1914, joining [[Ayr United F.C.|Ayr United]],<ref name=litsterprewar>((cite journal|title=A Record of pre-war Scottish League Players|author=John Litster|publisher=Scottish Football Historian magazine|date=October 2012))</ref> with whom he made his league debut on 20 March 1915 against Clyde. He served in the [[Black Watch]] and then transferred to the [[Royal Navy]] during [[World War I]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ayrunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?p=aufcgreatwar |title=Ayr United Football Club - Official Website |website=www.ayrunitedfc.co.uk |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926225903/http://www.ayrunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?p=aufcgreatwar |archive-date=26 September 2007 |url-status=dead))</ref> He moved to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in November 1921 for a fee of £4,600.

In January 1923, after 42 league games for United, McBain moved to [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], costing the Goodison Park side £4,200. He played 97 league games for Everton, leaving in July 1926 to join [[St Johnstone F.C.|St Johnstone]]<ref name=litsterprewar/> for a fee of £1,100.

He returned to [[Merseyside]] in March 1928, joining [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], but played only 12 times before joining [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] in November the same year.

===International===
His [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] international debut came in April 1922 while he was with Manchester United, in a 1–0 victory against [[England national football team|England]] at [[Villa Park]]. He won two further caps while with Everton, in 1923 against [[Ireland national football team (IFA)|Ireland]] and in 1924 against [[Wales national football team|Wales]].

==Coaching and managerial career==
He was appointed player-manager of Watford in 1929, retiring as a player in 1931 after playing 85 times for Watford. He left Watford in August 1937 and took over as manager of Ayr United later that year. In June 1938 he returned to England, as manager of [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]], but left Luton in June 1939.

He was appointed as manager of [[New Brighton A.F.C.|New Brighton]] in June 1946. On 15 March 1947, New Brighton had an injury crisis, particularly among their goalkeepers. With no other option McBain played in goal against [[Hartlepool United F.C.|Hartlepool United]] at the age of 51 years and 120 days (and almost exactly 32 years after his professional debut). He was sacked by New Brighton in February 1948 with the club bottom of the league. Later that month he joined [[Leyton Orient F.C.|Leyton Orient]] as assistant to [[Charlie Hewitt (footballer)|Charlie Hewitt]], but in August 1948 took over as manager after Hewitt left to rejoin [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]]. In August 1949, McBain left Orient to manage Argentine side [[Estudiantes de La Plata]].

McBain returned to Ayr United, as manager, in 1955, taking the club to promotion as Scottish Division Two runners-up in 1956, but in August 1956 left to manage Watford for a second time, his second spell lasting until February 1959.

His final spell as a manager came again at Ayr United, between 1962 and 1963. He died in 1974, aged 78.
