 “R. King” (a psuedonym) played at inside-left in his only known game for Thistle, a Monday night match at Firhill against Rangers, for the the benefit of the recently widowed wives of former players Jacky Smith and David Hislop. He was one of four trialists who featured as a Jag. The Daily Record reported: “Partick's recruits in front, whose names were not divulged, all comported themselves in creditable fashion”. Rangers won by two goals to one and nothing came of it for King, but around 4,000 turned out and, at the end of all endeavours, £100 was raised for the two families. |
