Cammy Duncan |
Cameron Duncan was born on Wednesday, 4th August, 1965, in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire. The 6' 1 (11st 12lbs) goalkeeper signed for John Lambie's Thistle on Friday, 20th October, 1989, having most recently been with Motherwell. Aged 24, he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 4th November, 1989, in a 1-1 draw away to Raith Rovers in the SFL First Division. Cammy kept his first clean-sheet on Saturday, 18th November, 1989, in a 2-0 win at home to Meadowbank Thistle in the SFL First Division. He registered the last of his 12 clean-sheets on Saturday, 26th January, 1991, in a 0-0 draw at home to Falkirk in the Scottish Cup. He played his last game for the club on Wednesday, 30th January, 1991, in a 4-3 defeat away to Falkirk in the Scottish Cup, having appeared as a Jag on 56 occasions. His club-list included Sunderland, Motherwell, Partick Thistle, Ayr United and Albion Rovers. Cammy died on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2017, in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, aged 51. |
It was hoped that Duncan's arrival from Motherwell would end a long standing goalkeeping problem for Thistle, but things never really worked out for the former Scotland youth cap. He had a number of fine games for Thistle, most notably a league match at Falkirk, but the return of Andy Murdoch from Celtic after a disastrous end to a memorable Scottish Cup-tie at the same venue effectively ended his Thistle career. He subsequently joined Ayr United in a swap deal that saw Sammy Johnston join Thistle. |
