The most natural goal scorer I ever saw at FP. Instinctively knew where he was in relation to the goal and when he saw the white of the goals he always had a go and invariably hit the target. The winning goal he scored against Celtic (then cup holders) at FP in the cup at FP will stay with me forever. Typical 'Grew.Oh Wullie Wullie, Wullie Wullie Wullie, Wullie Pettigrew.notworthy.gifnotworthy.gif

Favourite player ever in a 'Well shirt. As a callow youth I didn't realise how gifted he was, I just took it for granted he would get to the ball first and bury it in the net.

 

His speed over the first 20 yards was lethal and his finishing second to none. Another class player who missed out on caps due to not playing for the OF.

 

One of the few players who, when you look back today, is still as good (or better) than you remember.
