 George Gillespie was born on Thursday, 1st April, 1858, in Anderston, Glasgow. The goalkeeper first appeared as a guest for Thistle in August, 1887, having most recently been with Queen's Park. Aged 29, he made his first known appearance on Monday, 15th August, 1887, in a 2-0 win at home to Western Hibernians in a Benefit match. In doing so, George joined the goalies' clean-sheet debutant's club. He registered the last of his 3 known clean-sheets on Saturday, 22nd April, 1893, in a 4-0 win at home to Glasgow Thistle in the Scottish Alliance League. That was actually the last of his 3 known games for the club, so he left with a 100% clean-sheet record! His club-list included Rosslyn, Rangers, Queen's Park, Corinthians, Partick Thistle and St Bernard's. George died on Saturday, 3rd February, 1900, in Glasgow, aged 41. |
