Biography:
The younger of the Pyper brothers, Jack was a left-half in Cliftonville’s 1897 Irish Cup Final success. That same season he was capped for the first time, as right-half in a 6-0 defeat by England. He retained his place in the Ireland line-up for much of the next five seasons, also featuring at right-back and left-back. He scored his only international goal to make the scoreline 3-3 against Wales in his second appearance – from which point Ireland went on to claim a rare victory.
Like his elder brother Jim, Jack was called to ministry, serving the Strand Presbyterian Church in Portstewart.
