The Parkneuk teenager, signed during season 1920/21.

Capable of holding a football in each of his shovel-like hands, Bill`s genial personality made him very popular, not least when he entertained the supporters by punching the ball clear while swinging on the crossbar!

One particularly memorable performance against Cowdenbeath led to their entire team applauding him from the field and there were many who believed he would have played for Scotland had he been with a First Division club.

Had spells with Boston Wonder Workers in USA, Dundee United, Arsenal and Airdrieonians.
