Davie Whiteford
David Whiteford (born 9 August 1944) is a Scottish former footballer who played mainly as a right back. The greater part of his senior career (which did not begin until his early 20s once he had completed his education in order to become a schoolteacher) was spent with Motherwell where he played for eight years and made over 200 appearances, experiencing a relegation from the top division in 1967–68 followed by promotion as winners of Division Two the following season, as well as taking part in a Scottish League Cup semi-final later in 1969 and eliminating Tottenham Hotspur from the Texaco Cup in 1970. He moved to Falkirk in 1973, spending three seasons with the Bairns, then a further three with local rivals East Stirlingshire. Now well into his 30s, he had a spell at junior level with Rutherglen Glencairn before retiring. In 1985 he returned to East Stirlingshire as manager, but the part-time club failed to improve on their status as one of the weaker teams in the bottom division and he was dismissed in 1987. His father Jock, younger brother Jocky (a teammate at Falkirk and Glencairn, and coaching colleague at East Stirlingshire) and cousin Derek Whiteford were also footballers. Managerial statistics
