Ferguson first crossed the Atlantic in
1912, having played for the Scottish clubs Arbroath, St. Johnstone,
Dundee and then the English club Leeds City, now Leeds United. From the point at which he joined the
great steel club, Jock missed only one cup tie game in eight seasons, and
played in five U.S. Open Cup finals and five American Cup Finals. He made the trip to Sweden with
Bethlehem Steel in 1919. When the
American Soccer League opened in 1921-22 Ferguson played for the eventual champions
Philadelphia and won a championship medal again the following season as a
member of the J&P Coats team. He then returned to Bethlehem Steel for 1923-24 and remained with
the Steelmen until 1928 although only being used in a back up role.
