When I first started to go to Partick Thistle games he was the manager. Also remember my first ever panini sticker album in 1980s and I was desperate to complete the Partick Thistle squad as they were the premier league at the time and as manager he was the last one I needed to collect.
RIP Peter.  Thoughts with his friends and family at this very sad time ❤️

Iirc when Benny Rooney died @The Thistle Archive said that Peter Cormack was the oldest surviving ex Thistle manager, does that title now goes to Dick Campbell?

Sorry i thought i read it in your post when Benny Rooney died. So Derek Johnstone is now the oldest living permanent Thistle manager. I must admit i didn't even consider him being the oldest permanent one. I heard Murdo Macleod on the radio yesterday and he nearly didn't survive the health scare he had a year or so ago.

That’s a frightening list of appalling managers.

Only 4 or 5 good ones.

Makes me think we should probably stick with Dools.

Reading through that 80's and 90's list of managers gives me the fear. Out with Lambie, every single on of them was a failure.

Got to have sympathy for Peter Cormack though, who took over the club at a very difficult time. He did have us challenging the first couple of seasons back in 1st Division as well.

Think I take the blame for that one AJ.  It was a remarkable run of rubbish we went through in that period!
