W. Bennie (forename unknown) was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The defender probably joined Thistle in 1882.

He played his last known game for the club on Saturday, 13th September, 1884, in a 3-2 defeat away to 3rd L.R.V. in the Scottish Cup, having appeared for the Thistle on at least 4 occasions. His known club-list included only Partick Thistle.

Bio Extra

Bennie was mainly a full back who was around for a few years in the early to mid 1880s and featured in a couple of Scottish cup ties. Not much first team action was reported, but at the June 1884 AGM he was listed as captain of the second eleven, so he was a fairly prominent club member.
