| Ward |
 Ward (forename unknown) was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The forward probably joined Thistle in 1884. He made his first known appearance on Saturday, 16th February, 1884, in a 1-1 friendly draw away to Heart of Midlothian. He scored his only known goal on Thursday, 5th June, 1884, in a 5-1 friendly win at home to Partick. He played his third (and last known) game for the club on Saturday, 5th December, 1885, in a 1-1 friendly draw away to Clyde. His known club-list included only Partick Thistle. We don't know where or when Ward died. *

 Little is known of this player, but he's known to have made a few appearances in 1884 and 1885, remaining unbeaten as he did so. The highlight of these would be game at Muir Park on the Thursday evening of 5th June 1884. It was the return leg (so-to-speak) of the end-of-season battle with local rivals Partick, before a very large and enthusiastic crowd. It was stated that Thistle took the opportunity to give a run-out to three second XI men in Bennie, Ward & Paul, so that gives some indication as to his status at the club. Having won the game at Inchview (home to Partick) 5-0 the previous month, the home leg was equally emphatic; 5-1 to Thistle for a 10-1 aggregate. Ward got on the scoresheet and would undoubtedly have endeared himself to the faithful in doing so! |
