Biography
Jackie Beynon [sometimes mis-spelt Benyon] was a Welsh footballer who played for Doncaster Rovers and Aberdeen until his death from peritonitis on a club tour of South Africa in 1937.
Beynon signed for Aberdeen in 1932 from Doncaster and established himself as a winger in the first team. A few weeks after playing in the 1937 Scottish Cup final, he was struck down with appendicitis while on a tour of South Africa with Aberdeen and died of peritonitis. He was buried in South Africa. A detailed listing of Beynon's appearances for Aberdeen FC can be found at the AFC Heritage Trust's website.
