OK, I've put in about as much information as I can find on him. If anyone can verify his exact date of death - perhaps there's an obituary out there somewhere - then that would be a useful addition. I don't have any data for his Motherwell career, which seems to have been fairly undistinguished, so that would be nice if anyone has it.

Also removed the stub label, since it's a reasonable length now, and nominated myself for Did You Know? (my personal campaign to have AFC articles on the front page as often as possible...) Watty1962 (talk) 00:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
