A product of Vale of Leven Juniors and St Anthony’s, Denis was a top-quality right back with Partick Thistle for most of the 1920s, and received a gold medal as a Glasgow Charity Cup winner in 1927, the final being won versus Rangers by 6 goals to 3! Denis was awarded a testimonial match in September 1928, a 3-3 draw with Celtic at Firhill. Celtic manager Willie Maley had him on his radar for a few years, especially after his performances in Thistle’s Dental Hospital Cup win in 1928 and in the Scottish Cup final of 1930 in which Thistle took Rangers to a replay. Maley snapped him up when he became available mid-way through the 1930-31 season, however, he remained a reserve at Parkhead. Although selected for the 1931 tour of the USA and Canada, he seems to have been released before the party embarked. Later played for Cercle Athlétique de Paris! |
