text: John O'Hare (born 24 September 1946) is a Scottish former footballer. O'Hare's clubs included Sunderland, Derby County, Leeds United and also Nottingham Forest and was part of their European Cup victory in 1980, coming on as a substitute in the final. O'Hare also won thirteen caps for the Scotland national team, scoring five goals.
  Early years
  Born in Renton, West Dunbartonshire, he attended St Martins School and then went on to St Patrick's High School in Dumbarton.
  Career
  Sunderland
  O'Hare started his senior career with Sunderland, playing for the first team between 1964 and 1967.
  Derby County
  He then moved to Derby County for £20,000 in 1967. There was initial criticism of him as he was seen as a large but slow striker, however, their manager Brian Clough, who had coached him at Sunderland, persisted with him and in his second season he justified his fee, establishing a strike partnership with Kevin Hector as they led the Rams to the 1971–72 Football League First Division title.
  At County, O'Hare won thirteen caps for the Scotland national team, scoring five goals.
  After Clough's departure he fell out of favour with his successor, and former Derby captain, Dave Mackay.
