3 comments so far (post your own)Allan McGraw was not known as "Quick Draw" for nothing. His League total, in five seasons with Morton, was 116 goals in 137 games - an 85% average !
In 1999 he stood as an independent candidate for West Renfrewshire in the Scottish Parliamentary elections. (edited by moderator)

I remember when I started supporting Hibs he was taken off then brought back on in a l.cup semi against Dundee and scored the winning goal. But he was getting pain killing injections that ultimately damaged his legs permanently.
He didn't even play in the 1969 final .
I hailed him a hero which he is , but feel disgusted at the painful torment he is now subjected to. All the best Allan.
