considerin his name is my screen name I thought I should do our Bill justice and post this. Don't know if it's a modern thing or it's been goin on for a while now, there's no date on the site but a worthy cause none the less. Also it shouldn't just be the scottish hall of fame it should be the world, other than our Bill there was one other man who played for the Great Britain side twice and that was Stanley Matthews.
From what I know, heard, seen and read the fella was untouchable at his best. Apparently an honest and better version of Ronaldo. Hopefully a few of our older members can inform us with a better level of detail on his actuall ability. But anyway I think it's a worthy cause to have a memorial of him. Wouldn't harm the club itself to have some sort of rememberance for him. If it wasn't for Liddell we'd of been gettin relegated from the old second division. He kept us nearly single handedly durin the 50s.
