Biography

Clydebank always had the accent on youth in the senior years, particularly in the early days. However, they always had an "auld heid" around to give the youngsters a guiding hand and to make sure the squad had some much needed experience. Pat Delaney was one such player.

Pat had a long career at Motherwell playing for the Fir Park side well over 200 times, and subsequently had top tier stints at Dunfermline, Clyde and Airdrie.

When he joined Clydebank in the summer of 1972 he was in the twilight of his career. After two decent seasons, the Bankies were a poor outfit and by the end of November the club were struggling at the foot of the table. Despite playing almost every game it was clear that Pat was past his best.

After losing his place to the emerging Norrie Hall, it was decided to let Pat leave the club in January. A swap deal was arranged with Albion Rovers with Pat heading to Cliftonville along with a four figure sum, and Bobby Tuddenham coming to Kilbowie.

Pat played one more season with Albion Rovers before hanging up his boots.
