trafficlight Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Cup winning captain at Motherwell is a very exclusive club. The old boy reached a good age there. R.I.P Willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 The word legend is tossed around far too cheaply these days, but Willie Kilmarnock merited that tile. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilian Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sad news to hear about the loss of another 'Well Legend but mostly its a very sad loss for his loved ones, Deepest condolences go out to them. A fine servant to the club from what I read and heard about him and will be rightly remembered in the history books as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcalf Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Doughty Defender, as described on the Pathe News film of our Cup victory, never heard anyone else called that so he must have been good to get a word all to himself. Sad news, RIP Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East_Stand_Al Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 "Willie forged a reputation as a reliable, speedy and cultured full-back who skills from a dead ball were noted at the time." "Kilmarnock was called upon to clear three Dundee efforts from his own goal line." "he sent a 40-yard strike rocketing into the net and the other, similar in style, against East Fife at Hampden Park in the Semi-Final of the 1955-56 League Cup." What we wouldn't give for a payer of that calibre in the modern game , clearly a fantasticaly talented footballer. Condolences to Family and Friends let your love and pride for him help ease the pain of his parting. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellimp Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 One of only 2 men to captain Motherwell to Scottish Cup victory. What an exclusive club to be a member of. I hope we dont have to wait too long before that club gets a third member. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Silver Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have only just read about this on the official site - have been snwoed under with work and life and weans and stuff. Made me go out and hunt the scan I did of an old pic of Willie. Have a gander: They don't make 'em like that anymore! RIP Willie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's been said before but I'll say it again, the word "legend" is banded about all to easily these days and has been grossly devalued because of it. Willie Kilmarnock is a Motherwell legend in it's truest sense. Thanks for everything, Rest In Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 His name is forever etched in the history of MFC. RiP Willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammer Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 My Dad told me he was an excellent right back, very fast, good with free kicks and apparently could give the ball a right good leathering. Remember, in those days the balls weighed about six stone! RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
