RIP Wattie - Never saw you play, but if you played in Red, then you are one of ours.

Very difficult mate footballs a completely different game these days, Ive seen our lads play some great stuff this season, a while since now, But would reckon most of Walt Galbraiths lads would walk in any team in whats now League2. IMHO.;) Though i was a young lad back then so me judgement could be biased.

I would tend to agree with Cashman in that Wattie and most of the other members of Galbraith's team would manage League without any problems, but to be honest it was an different game then the balls were much heavier, the boots much more restrictive and the pitches in general poorer.

R.I.P. a skillful, smooth player, lots of skill and not afraid to get stuck in. Can,t believe he was 85, were the heck has the time gone.
