vETERANS : Ex / players

Welcome to our Football Club History Pages - The Veterans,

This section has been inspired by the McBride family, now living in Canada.

John Connell McBride is an ex Vale of Clyde footballer.

Now a tender age of 85, Jack, to family & friends was a winger who wore the Navy Blue and has fond memories of his time at the football club.

It is with special thanks to his daughter Elizabeth, who came accross our website by chance and remembered that her dad was one of ours many years ago.

This is the inspiraton for our veterans section, which i hope will bring other ex-players / family with a story to tell about their time at the Vale of Clyde Football Club.

Thank you once again Jack & Elizabeth McBride.

By clicking on the image(s) below, you will be taken to the players home page.
