God I feel really old at this minute, first Pat Quinn and now Willie Hunter!

It starts when the all the players are younger than you. Then it's the managers that are younger than you. Then you see the surname of a player you recognise and wonder if it's their son - and it turns out to be their grandson.

My first 'Well hero when I was a nipper:  such an elegant player  and a wonderful passer also.

Met Billy (as his family called him) and his charming wife in Glasgow a few years ago and he came to our table for about ten minutes to chat to us about his time  at Motherwell.  Think he suffered a compound arm break against Rangers.  Latterly he wrote poetry for an Alzheimer's charity and took an interest in Pat Quinn in his declining years.

As others have said, a complete gentleman from a totally different age.
