You Couldn't Make It Up!

by Jack Little

Davie McParland made just short of 600 appearances for Thistle and he holds the club record for most outfield appearances. When he took the field against Stirling Albion on 25/11/1961 he began an incredible run of 206 consecutive competitive appearances - well ahead of any other Thistle outfield player - missing only 2 friendly matches. The run ended against Falkirk on Christmas Day 1965. A record unlikely to be beaten - anywhere!
