| Wayne Foster |
 Wayne Paul Foster was born on Wednesday, 11th September, 1963, in Tyldesley, Greater Manchester. The 5' 10 (12st 3lbs) forward signed for John Lambie's Thistle on Friday, 2nd December, 1994, having most recently been with Heart of Midlothian. Aged 31, he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 3rd December, 1994, in a 2-2 draw at home to Hibernian in the SFL Premier Division. That day, Wayne became a member of our scoring debutant's club. He scored the last of his 11 goals on Saturday, 18th November, 1995, in a 1-0 win away to Falkirk in the SFL Premier Division. He played his last game for the club on Saturday, 20th April, 1996, in a 2-1 defeat away to Kilmarnock in the SFL Premier Division, having appeared as a Jag on 45 occasions. Wayne's club-list included Bolton Wanderers, Preston North End, Heart of Midlothian, Hartlepool United, Partick Thistle, Falkirk, St Mirren and Livingston. |
 Will always be well thought of by the Thistle fans if only for his two goals that helped Thistle to a famous 3-1 win over Celtic at Hampden Park. Arrived at Firhill half way through the 1995/96 season from Hearts with Thistle struggling at the foot of the league. His goals, plus another arrival from Tynecastle, keeper Nicky Walker, went a long way in helping Thistle to stage a comeback, eventually avoiding the drop at the expense of Dundee United. Was unable to recapture his goalscoring form the next season although he did score a spectacular goal against Falkirk. He later joined the Brockville outfit after a Firhill free transfer. |
