  • Summary

  • In the last episode of the Citizen for a while, Andy unearths an interview with Kilmarnock FC's greatest-ever player, Frank Beattie. Born in Stirling in 1933, Frank grew up playing football for juvenile teams before joining Bonnybridge Juniors in 1953. He didn't stay in the juniors long as after only six weeks, Frank was signed by Kilmarnock FC and would work down the pits in the morning and train with Killie in the afternoon. When Willie Waddell took over from Malky MacDonald in 1957, the club entered its golden age that culminated in the final-day title win over Hearts at Tynecastle in 1965. After Frank's sad passing in 2009, Kilmarnock renamed their main stand The Frank Beattie Stand, and even among younger supporters he is considered the club's greatest servant.
