It was as a full-back that Saints signed William Douglas Telfer from Burnbank Athletic in August
1943.
He made his debut at the start of the 1943-44 season, but it was not to be until the following season that he moved
into the centre of defence and began to show the qualities that would make him a legend in the history of St Mirren.
Once
established in the centre half role, he became a truly dominant player clocking up over 500 competitive appearances in the
stripes.
He soon became the team captain and led by example, even playing the occasional game up front where he found
the net on 33 occasions.
