Fair Man 67 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 R.I.P. Wilie. Part of a St. Js defence that were dominant in the Ormond years. Seen him not give guys like Jimmy Johnstone & Willie Henderson, aye! Even Jim Baxter, not a sniff. Ordinary Perth man and a top class defender in a great side.

Center Half Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Real professionalDelivered our papers ona Sunday morningUsually with a black eye and limpCould you just imagine any player in this day and age doing that!!!They were good days Aye I am sure Willie used to do the early morning shift in the paper shop at the Muirton shops on Dunkeld road I used to go in there in the morning for a paper when I started as an apprentice. I suppose it would be a short sprint along to MUIRTON for training then. I could you imagine some of the Prima Donnas doing that now .
