Robert 'Bobbie' Bruce and played for St Anthony's Glasgow before signing for Aberdeen in the 1924 close season.
Bruce who stood only 5'6" tall was equally at home at centre or inside forward and proved an elusive opponent who could pass the ball accurately, even when running at top speed.
Despite his youth Bruce quickly became a regular Dons first teamer.
He toured South Africa with Aberdeen in 1927 and just before joining Middlesbrough for £4,500 in January 1928, he created history by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in a Scottish Cup tie and still finish on the lsoing side.

Arthur Buckley was a winger of considerable promise. He began with Greenfield before signing amateur forms with Third Division North Oldham Athletic in March 1932.
He turned professional a fortnight after his nineteenth birthday and Leeds United paid £2,500 for him in October 1936.
He had scored 10 goals in 47 League games for the Latics. He proved a sound investment, scoring regularly and providing the crosses for Gordon Hodgson to convert into goals.
After being a regular for two seasons he shared the left wing duties with Jack Hargreaves for the last full season before the War.
After playing two of the three games in the aborted 1939-40 season, he was at Outside-Left in Leeds' 5-2 home win over Bradford Park Avenue in April 1940 in the initial War-time Regional League but did not play again until he was back on the Left Wing at Burnden Park for United's 0-6 hammering by Bolton Wanderers on 13th October 1945 in the final Wartime League season of 1945-46.
He spent much of the war on active service with the Army. However, he managed to play five games with Aldershot in 1940-41, while receiving his initial Army training there, and played once for Crystal Palace in 1942-43. But much of his leave was spent playing for his home town team, Oldham Athletic, as a guest during the Second World War, scoring seven times in 19 games in 1939-40, twice in 1940-41, three times in 1941-42, twice in 1942-43, and four times 1945-46, but did not add to his goal tally. He was selected for an Army XI against The Army in Naples on 17th May 1945. However, he was yet another player whose League career ended in the Second World War.
He was released by Leeds and, after failing to get a place at Oldham Athletic, he played with Mossley in the 1947-48 season and was top scorer with 26 goals from 43 games.
Although now 35, he moved on to Hurst prior to the 1948-49 season and went on to score 17 times in 35 games.

Born 1970.
Brendan Burke started his footballing career as a junior at Manchester United.
In 1986 a change of management saw a clear-out and Brendan was released after four years at Old Trafford, a severe blow to his boyhood dreams.
He had a trial at Rochdale, who offered YTS terms, and then Crewe where he suffered a knee ligament injury after just 20 minutes of an A team game and that was the end of that.
Burke took a job in banking and played Oldham Sunday League soccer with Freehold before joining Oldham Town in 1989.
His semi-pro career started at Mossley when he was snapped up by the then Mossley manager Mark Hilton and slotted in the Lilywhites side forming a formidable strike partnership with the robust Paul Bowler.
Brendan made a terrific impact at Seel Park and went on to make 99 appearances scoring 32 goals before transferring to Witton Albion in 1992.
38 goals in 109 appearances at Wincham Park prompted trials at Port Vale, Burnley, Preston and Bury. Kenny Dalglish, then manager of Blackburn Rovers was even rumoured to be watching the striker’s progress.
In December 1994, Stalybridge Celtic paid a club record £12,000 for his services. He became a firm favourite with the Bower Fold fans during the next four and a half years, emerging as one of the best semi-professional players around.
He left Stalybridge in the summer of 1999 on a Bosman style transfer to Altrincham.
Injury prevented the Moss Lane fans seeing the Brendan Burke that they had seen star against them in the past and in June 2000, at the age of 29, the Middleton-based player reluctantly called it a day after taking a second opinion on a serious problem in his lower spine which could have affected his future well-being if he had carried on playing.
Burke had problems with bones between his vertebrae which were rubbing together, with the canals at the bottom of the spine which guide nerves into his legs and he also had three prolapsed discs.
The former Mossley star will be long remembered as one of the best semi-pro players of the 1990’s.

Signed following his release by Bury where he was a regular goalscorer in their reserve team.
Bury manager Chris Casper said of Burke after releasing several players at the end of the 2005/06 season, "The difficult decision was with Steve Burke and he could be the one that in the future we turn around and say ‘we should have kept him'.
Later with Chorley (2 spells), Skelmersdale United, Rossendale United and Radcliffe Borough.
