| Isaac English |
 Isaac English was born on Friday, 12th November, 1971, in Paisley, Renfrewshire. The 5' 8 (10st 5lbs) forward signed for John Lambie's Thistle on Wednesday, 28th June, 1989, having most recently been with Gleniffer Thistle. Aged 18, he made his debut appearance on Wednesday, 14th March, 1990, in a 4-1 win at home to Hamilton Academical in the SFL First Division. Isaac scored his first goal for Thistle on Saturday, 5th May, 1990, in a 1-1 draw at home to Raith Rovers in the SFL First Division. He scored the last of his 20 goals on Saturday, 20th November, 1999, in a 2-1 win away to Queen of the South in the SFL Second Division. He played his last game for the club on Saturday, 22nd April, 2000, in a 2-0 defeat away to Stenhousemuir in the SFL Second Division, having clocked up 147 appearances as a Jag. Isaac's club-list included St Mirren, Partick Thistle, St Johnstone, Ayr United, Stranraer, Stenhousemuir, Hamilton Academical and Dumbarton. |
 Rejoined Thistle in the summer of '99 after a number of years away from the club. Pace was always Isaac's main asset and he frequently posed problems for some highly rated defenders during his Premier League days with Thistle, most notably Rangers who suffered more than once against him (who can forget his superb strike in the 1-1 draw at Firhill?). Struggled to make any impact second time round and after one goal in 17 apps (9 as a sub) he was freed. Scored the odd goal for Stenhousemuir in the following seasons. |
