start of the following season, but then lost his place to his good friend and fellow Glaswegian, Hugh Fisher. His only involvement for the rest of the season was as a substitute, including appearances in the FA Cup fourth and fifth round matches against Blackpool and West Bromwich Albion. In March 1976, he was offered a move to Swindon Town and accepted what he described as "a good offer" from manager Danny Williams. In his seven years with the Saints, he made a total of 96 appearances, scoring three goals. Later career His move to Swindon was not a great success, missing a lot of games as a result of a cartilage injury. In 1977, he was given a free transfer back to Clydebank before finishing his career at Hibernian, quitting football in 1979 with arthritis. Life after football After leaving football, he started a building business in Glasgow before settling in Duntocher, in West Dumbartonshire with his wife, Maureen and has two sons. After a hip replacement, he is now a regular golfer. References External links Swindon Town profile 1949 births Living people Footballers from Glasgow Scottish footballers Clydebank F.C.
