 Murdo Davidson MacLeod was born on Wednesday, 24th September, 1958, in Glasgow. The 5' 9 (12st 4lbs) midfielder signed for Thistle as player / manager on Monday, 14th August, 1995, having most recently been with Dumbarton. Aged 37, he made his playing debut on Saturday, 21st October, 1995, in a 3-0 defeat away to Aberdeen in the SFL Premier Division. There were no goals for Murdo during his spell with Thistle. He played his second and last game for the club on Saturday, 27th July, 1996, in a 1-0 friendly defeat away to Glenavon. Murdo's club-list included Glasgow Amateurs, Dumbarton, Celtic, Borussia Dortmund, Hibernian and Partick Thistle. |
 MacLeod continued the trend set by Peter Cormack, Derek Johnstone and Sandy Clark by pulling on the boots while at the some time managing the dub. He listed himself as a substitute for a match with Celtic at Parkhead but resisted the temptation to play against his former club. Appeared from the start the following week at Aberdeen and was arguably Thistle's best performer in an admittedly poor showing. It was still a little surprising that he choose not to repeat the experience and was content to spend the rest of his time at Firhill merely watching from the technical area. |
