William McDonald [ii]

• William McDonald, 1911 (SR) William McDonald was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The midfielder signed for George Easton's Thistle on Wednesday, 1st December, 1909, having most recently been with Maryhill. He made his debut appearance on Saturday, 25th December, 1909, in a 3-1 win at home to Hibernian in the SFL First Division. William scored his first goal for Thistle on Saturday, 15th April, 1911, in a 6-1 friendly win at home to East Stirlingshire. He scored his second and last goal on Wednesday, 3rd January, 1912, in a 5-3 defeat away to St Mirren in a Benefit match. That turned out to be his last game for the club, having appeared as a Jag on 54 occasions. His club-list included Maryhill, Partick Thistle, St Mirren and Vale of Leven. We don't know where or when William died. * * If you can help us to improve any of these marked points on The Thistle Archive, then please do get in touch →
