It is common belief among older supporters that Willie McCallum was the club's best ever player. He was a mainstay and major asset to the club in the 1970s, he was often asked for his autograph which is rare for players at junior level.
The club has found it difficult to emulate the success of the 1970s team. The team are managed since May 2015 by former player Paul McColl.
