Biography

Gallacher was signed from Vale of Leven in mid December 1951 after impressing in two trial games that month. He spent the next two and a half seasons as a regular in our front line, predominately at centre forward, before rejecting a contract offer in the summer of 1955 but remaining on the clubs retained list. Due to living in Alexandria and training with Dumbarton, a move suited both himself and the Sons and towards the end of August 1955 a move was agreed. While at Dumbarton, Gallacher would go on to score an incredible 205 goals in 231 appearances.
