Isaac Milne

Isaac started playing football for Battlefield at juvenile level before playing in the juniors with Ardenlea, followed by two years with Albion and then Alpine. He featured during the 1896-97 season while a junior player for Alpine, and he joined us permanently in the summer of 1897. He became a prominent member of our forward line over the next few seasons despite missing several months of the 1899-00 season due to living and working in Glasgow, he once again showed his skills from January onwards of that season upon his return to the town.

In August 1900, just prior to the new campaign starting, Isaac joined Dundee Wanderers alongside teammate John Sinclair. After a season at Clepington Park he returned to Gayfield in July 1901 and despite missing the first few months of the 1902-03 season he was signed on again midway through the season and managed to make a further five competitive appearances.

He wasn't offered a new contract for the following campaign and in August 1903 he signed for Leith Athletic, spending one season there before signing for Forfar Athletic ahead of the 1904-05 season. As late as March 1909 he was still playing, turning out for a local junior select against Rangers in a friendly.

As a player, Isaac was described in newspaper reports as good dribbler and tackler with a sure shot, as well as being short and light and regularly beating defenders with his nimbleness and pace.
