I was wondering if anyone at the club had any historical details of my late, uncle Jimmy Macmillan who I understand played for Vale of Clyde in the late 1930's. I have always understood that he transfered from the Vale & signed for Chelsea. He was also on Celtic FC's books for a period. Any help would be fantastic, thank you.
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.

Tom Getty ex player in 1960's pictured above (Top 2nd from left) has also contacted the website,
Tom said, "I first played for Vale at 17 and signed from Morrison YM", "I was No 8". "I left for Bellshill , Kilwinning Rangers, Dunoon Athletic , Largs Thistle then back to Vale of Clyde where I was captain and No4". "Great to see this site, brings back memories of Wullie Winters the Rothwell bros Jimmy Robertson the butcher, and my late pal Tommy Brogan".
Cheers from Canada. Tom.

Hello again Tom,
I spoke about your contact with the committee after our match v Clydebank 6th March 2010 and i have been asked by David Armitage to say hello on his & Robert Jackson's behalf. David let me take a snap of the pic above, which is on view in our new club cabin. Tell us a bit about the pic Tom, if you can remember the day it was taken.
Take care pal,
