Bill Samson — Please do not copy or reproduce without the copyright holder’s permission.

Bill was signed up in early August 1950 after impressing in our pre-season trials, and having also played against our reserves for Raith Rovers A several months prior. He spent two years at Gayfield but only made three appearances, mainly due to spending most of his time at the club serving his national service.
