Playing career

Dougie McBain's club football is best remembered for his time with Dumfries club Queen of the South.[1] McBain gave Queens seven years from 1948, the year in which he played in the run to a Wembley semi final of the Olympics Games for Matt Busby's Great Britain side (McBain scored against Netherlands at Highbury in the first round).[1][5] McBain was one of two players in the GB Olympic team to move from Queens Park to Palmerston Park that Summer. The other was Jimmy McColl.[1]

At Queens McBain played beside some of the finest names to have played for the club such as Billy Houliston, Roy Henderson, Dougie Sharpe, Jackie Oakes, Jim Patterson, Jimmy Binning and Bobby Black.[6] McBain's time there was part of the finest era in the club's history. McBain played in and scored in Queens' run to the 1950 Scottish Cup semi finals where Rangers needed a replay at Hampden Park to see off Queens. McBain was an integral part of the side that achieved numerous other points of note in the first half of the 1950s.[1][5]

McBain left QoS in 1955 after a contractual dispute with the chairman and retired from professional football. He was aged 30 at the time.[1]

Education and later career

Having been schooled at the Hamilton Academy, McBain went on to graduate from Edinburgh University before becoming a lecturer at Telford College. [7][1][8]

Dougie McBain died on 1 February 2008, aged 83.[1]
