Glasgow Eastern Standard 8th September 1923. Depicting a sketch/charicature of Jimmy Quinn.

Quinn, Jimmy - Pic

No: 16 The Football Player (Homo Rummelthemup).

The idol of the people. A gentleman who spends his Saturday afternoons
Endeavouring to kick a leather ball into a net. If he is successful in his efforts
the eighty thousand or so who look on are seen to assume a pleased expression.

The game might be made more exciting if all players kicked in the
same direction as more goals would be scored, and after all, goals are what the
spectators want.

The greatest names in history are those of Napoleon, Gladstone and
Jimmy Quinn – these three, but the greatest of these is Jimmy Quinn. If you
Don’t believe me ask anybody in Parkhead.
