Biography:
1924 proved the pinnacle of goalkeeper John Gough's career. With Queen's Island he collected Irish League, Irish Cup, City Cup and Co. Antrim Shield winner's medals. In that year he also represented Ireland and made his second inter-league appearance.
By the 1928/29 season Queen's Island were in a terminal decline that would see them leave senior football forever. Early in that campaign Gough had left them behind to sign for Ballymena. He played in successive Irish Cup finals for the fledgling team, a 2-1 win over Belfast Celtic in 1929 and a 4-3 defeat by Linfield the following year.
