Famous Players
Alan Hansen - Right from the start Sauchie has provided many players who became seniors - including three who became full Scottish Internationalists - Alan Hansen (Partick Thistle and Liverpool), his brother John (Partick Thistle) and Joe Craig (Partick Thistle and Celtic). Jim Wallace went to Dunfermline and won Scottish under 23's and League Caps. More recently Paul McHale moved to Cowdenbeath then Clyde and is now at Dundee.
George Connelly - One other Internationalist player who gave great service to the Club was George Connelly of Celtic, but unlike the others, Sauchie was his last club, not his first.

Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or players:
“Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.”
—Anonymous. Late 19th century ballad.
The quatrain refers to the famous case of Lizzie Borden, tried for the murder of her father and stepmother on Aug. 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Though she was found innocent, there were many who contested the verdict, occasioning a prodigious output of articles and books, including, most recently, Frank Spiering’s Lizzie (1985)
“Will you see the players well bestowed? Do you hear, let them
be well used, for they are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time. After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
