| Robertson [v] |
 Robertson (forename unknown) was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The forward was a guest player for George Easton's Thistle in April, 1915. He made his only appearance on Tuesday, 13th April, 1915, in a 2-2 draw at home to Rangers in a Benefit match. There were no goals for Robertson in his one-off appearance for Thistle. His known club-list included only Partick Thistle. We don't know where or when Robertson died. *

 It was a strange old evening at Firhill on Tuesday, 13th April, 1915. 3,000 were there for the 6.15pm kick-off between Thistle and Rangers, the raising of funds for the Orange Lodge being the purpose of the occasion. Willie Hamilton of Thistle guested for Rangers, who gave a trial to Jimmy Lister, the son of Thistle's trainer at the time. Sandy Lister had to endure the quandary of his son netting a brace against the Jags on the night! Jimmy's goals were sandwiched between two from Neil Harris, the equaliser coming at the death, thereby making Sandy's life that little bit easier behind the scenes. Thistle had 4 from the juniors playing on the night. As well as Robertson (inside left), there was McAllister (right back), Murray (left half) and McLean (inside right). All four played their one and only game for the club. |
