 Tall centre-forward who was signed from Glasgow Perthshire by Derek Johnstone. Despite scoring on his debut he was not given a run in the team, appearing usually as a substitute. He appeared to struggle to make the step-up from the juniors, and returned to Petershill and then Perthshire at the end of the season. Tragically died in a car crash; Thistle played in a benefit match for his family. |
