Joseph Gartshore Kissock (5 June 1893 – 1 September 1959)[2] was a Scottish-born association football player who represented New Zealand at international level.[3]
He played for Vale of Clyde in his native Scotland, before moving to England in 1919 to join Bury. He spent a year with Bristol Rovers during the 1921–22 season, and after a brief spell back in Scotland with Peebles Rovers, he moved to the United States in 1922. He stayed in America for a year, and moved to New Zealand in 1923.[4] Here, he played for Porirua team Hospital.[5]
Kissock made his full All Whites debut in a 1–2 loss to Australia on 9 June 1923 and played two further official internationals that month, beating Australia 3-2 and 4–1. These were to be his only official internationals for New Zealand.[3][6]
He died in San Francisco in September 1959.[7]
