| Thomas Sinclair |
 Thomas Sinclair was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The forward probably joined Thistle in 1879. He made his first known appearance on Saturday, 24th January, 1880, in a 1-0 friendly win away to 2nd Queen's Park. That day, Thomas became a member of our scoring debutant's club. He scored the last of his 4 known goals on Saturday, 11th March, 1882, in a 5-0 win away to Yoker in the Yoker Cup. He played his last known game for the club on Saturday, 21st October, 1882, in a 3-3 draw away to Cambuslang in the Scottish Cup, having appeared for the Thistle on at least 9 occasions. His known club-list included Partick Thistle and Distillery. We don't know where or when Thomas died. *
