iluve been told an amusing story of Gibson. Some time age his father, the famous Scottish inter-} national, went, to see him play, and at the end of the match he told him that he was "playing like a school- girl."

But "Patsy" not only showed the world that he knew more tricks than any of them, but that he had energy and staying-power stored up in heaps.
When this dawned on the people at Parkhead fr. James Kelly, the director, exclaimed; "How lucky we are. Jamie' Quinn, our match winner, has gone out and now we've found another.”
Gallagher This heyday, and to
a great extent even yet, was a model for young players. He would have worn himself out long ago had be not been possessed of the instinct for taking position and making the ball do the work...
