Willie gained 35 Scotland caps playing at left back taking part in the famous 1978 World Cup side. Most of his career was spent with Manchester City. Willie is currently the development coach with Newcastle United and he asked to come and see for himself the football development set up at the school. He was greatly impressed by the facilities land the development programme.
