| Tommy Wright |
 Thomas Wright was born on Friday, 20th January, 1928, in Clackmannan, Clackmannanshire. The forward signed for Donald Turner's Thistle in February, 1945, having most recently been with Blairhall Colliery. Aged 17, he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 10th February, 1945, in a 2-1 defeat at home to Airdrieonians in the Southern League. Tommy scored his first goal for Thistle on Saturday, 28th April, 1945, in a 5-1 win at home to Hibernian in the Southern League. He scored the last of his 34 goals on Saturday, 12th February, 1949, in a 4-4 draw at home to Dundee in the SFL First Division, marking the occasion with a hat-trick!
