Hi Sarah,even though he is named in this photo I wouldn't have picked him out . I remember the black curly hair . When he left Winton Tommy Morgan moved from left half to centre half .

Mike/Sarah,
Could he be in one of these photographs then, maybe the third one down?

hi Sarah
Here is photo of Winton Rovers around 1949 . I started following them thext year so can't recall everybody , but here goes .
BACK ROW :-Sam Pllu , ?,?, Tommy Morgan , Puggy Muir and ?
FRONT ROW :- Lawrie , Jackie Thomson , John Reid , Neilly Hawthorne and Willie Kearney .
Any corrections would be welcomed.
Mike
I came across the photo that Mike was referring to in the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald of 2 September 1949. The caption gives the name of everyone in the photo and shows that Mike's recollection was very close.

Hi Sam, , here is what I can remember .
the players wearing the plain shirts are the first team , so starting at the back here they are left to right :-
Sam Pllu , ( later went to Winton Rovers ) , McGeachie and Ross .
Next row:- O'Rourke (hugh} , Frank Quinn , " Seagull" McKenna , Harry Leckie and Tommy Cairns .
Front row :- Joe Kirk ( captain ) , Gill and Stewart .
The person beside Sam Pllu is " Sparrow " Alexander , and beside Ross is Willie Walton .
Beside Joe Kirk is Eddie Quinn .
Don't recognise the other players . I suppose some of the civvies would be commitee members etc .
Re nicknames , in the fifties , Winton had a great wee centre forward called McEwan and of course his nickname was " Screwtap " !
I have a pic of Winton in the ealrly fifties which I Will dig out an post .
