Colin Campbell McKechnie Veitch (22 May 1881) was an all-round maestro playing in the early 20th century for Newcastle United. He was so versatile that he appeared in every outfield position for the club, apart from left-back and left-wing. Despite his renowned versatility, he preferred to direct operations from the half-line, and central midfield in particular. His supberb ball control was considered as one of the best of his time, however he was a team player who mastered the midfield with the passing game rather than engaging any fancy dribbling skills. His passing skills was really good, especially his legendary pin-point pass, which can make up for his lack of paces. His tactics shape the quick-passing team approach that should be now regarded as 'modern football'. Besides, he was also credited for the creation of United's renowned offside tactics, along with Bill McCracken, Peter William and later Frank Hudspeth.
