livivoice 75 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 Just missed seeing him play for us. From what I have been told he was a very highly regarded player in a brilliant team. Rest in peace sir. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winning by Name 62 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 I first saw Pat Quinn playing for us in 1961 when I was six. He quickly became my favourite player. Very sad that he has gone. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Dosser 172 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 Very sad news: I missed seeing him by a season but my brother and his mates all idolised him for his footballing brain and his vision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very sad that he has gone. You must be of the same era as me. I first saw Pat play in 1959/60ish. He was very talented and a great passer of the ball. Very sad news. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The African 386 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 Before my time, but given what my late father said about him ( and he was a better than fair judge of a player) he must have been a genuine talent. RIP and my thoughts are with his family and friends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, the archetypal midfield playmaker. When he was on his game, which was more often than not, he made the team tick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelboy 986 Report post Posted July 14, 2020 119 goals in 251 games from midfield is an incredible return. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently Pat was desperate to play for Celtic when at Bridgeton Waverley but they thought he was too small, so a massive gain for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
