Queen of The South
In yet another inspired signing for Queen of the South under Jimmy McKinnell Junior, the now massively experienced Broadis joined the Dumfries side for the last of his playing days in 1959. With his passing ability and goal threat Broadis clearly enjoyed his fine displays at Queens, later saying, "The two seasons I spent at Palmerston Park were the best of my career'.
With Jim Patterson and Bobby Black already at the club when Broadis arrived, they were joined by George Farm in February 1960.
In his time at QoS he hit four goals on Boxing day 1959 in a 7 - 1 home win over Queens Park. The Doonhamers' other goals came from Percy Dunlop (2) and Bobby Black. The consolation goal for Queens Park was scored by future Aberdeen and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson. Broadis scored 20 goals in his 63 league games for Queens.
Broadis´ performances prompted the offer of a contract from top division Hearts. However Broadis decided that he would end his playing days with Queens before moving on to the next step in his career.
At the time of his 90th birthday he was the oldest surviving ex Queens player.

Famous quotes containing the words queen of, queen and/or south:
“They’re here, though; not a creature failed,
No blossom stayed away
In gentle deference to me,
The Queen of Calvary.
Each one salutes me as he goes,”

While you are forced to your empty breast
A skeleton Babe to hold”

“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
