About Neil McCallum:
“Neil McCallum, outside right, is a forward of great parts, mixed with some faults. An old Renton man he shows all that dogged determination characteristic of the district from which he hails. Sturdy and tricky on the ball, he dribbles very close, and has a very happy knack of getting round the backs opposed to him. When he meets with a soft back, he displays a child-like fondness for making rings round him. This weakness takes the form of passion at times, and while it makes the injudicious spectator smile, it is of very little use to his side. This failing is, however, redeemed by splendid shooting and passing play, and when near goal he seldom misses the mark. He is the wit of the team, fair and good locking, is a Highlander, and wears an Inverness cloak.”
