| Henry Laverty |
 Henry Laverty was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The forward signed for George Easton's Thistle on Tuesday, 20th August, 1918, having most recently been with Pollok. He made his debut appearance on Saturday, 31st August, 1918, in a 1-0 win away to Ayr United in the Scottish Football League. There were no goals for Henry during his spell with Thistle. He played his last game for the club on Saturday, 25th January, 1919, in a 3-1 defeat at home to Dumbarton in the Scottish Football League, having appeared as a Jag on 7 occasions. His club-list included St Paul's United, Pollok and Partick Thistle. We don't know where or when Henry died. *

 This St Paul's United inside left moved to Pollok in the close season of 1918, but was hardly there at all when George Easton improved his personal terms and lured him to Firhill. He featured in 7 league games for Thistle in 1918-19, away wins at Hamilton (2-1, September) and Hibs (2-0, January) being the highlights. A 1-3 Firhill to defeat to Dumbarton in late January 1919 signalled the end of his involvement though. By August 1919, the unfortunate news broke that the SFA were to hear a claim made against Thistle by Laverty for unpaid wages. |
