| Donald Twells |
 Donald Twells was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The midfielder joined Donald Turner's Thistle as a guest in May, 1940, whilst a St Mirren player. He made his sole appearance on Tuesday, 21st May, 1940, in a 2-1 defeat away to Clyde in the Glasgow Charity Cup. There were no goals for Donald in his one-off appearance for Thistle. His club-list included St Mirren, Partick Thistle and Hull City.

 JL notes that he played Army football, so we can surmise that he was a soldier. Played 5 times for St Mirren in the Regional League West of 1939-40. Thistle often used the Glasgow Charity Cup to give guests a run or try out, and this accounts for his sole appearance for the Jags which (probably no-coincidence) came just 3 days after he'd turned out in a 3-1 win for St Mirren against Thistle! Possibly as a result of his stationing, he went on to play 7 competitive games for Hull City between Dec 1940 - Apr 1941. On account of his service during WWII, Donald is included in our feature piece, The Partick Thistle Returned →. |
