Billy McPhail
William "Billy" S. McPhail (2 February 1928 – 4 April 2003) was a Scottish football player who played for Celtic, Clyde and Queen's Park. He scored three goals in Celtic's record 7–1 victory over Rangers in the 1957 Scottish League Cup Final. After retiring, he developed a neurodegenerative disease, which he believed to be a result of brain damage acquired from heading footballs. He was the younger brother of John McPhail.
== Career ==
McPhail's 17-year playing career began when he signed for Queen's Park in 1941.〔Alford, Mark. (So Farewell Billy McPail ), ''The Independent'', 12 April 2003〕 He was a centre forward and soon earned the nickname "Teazy Weazy."〔(Hampden in the Sun ), The North American Federation of Celtic Supporters Clubs, Retrieved 22 June 2007〕 He was, according to football historian Bob Crampsey, "an extremely graceful player... a particularly good header of a ball"〔(Heading for Trouble (transcript) ), ''Frontline Scotland'', 2 May 2000〕 He was then sold to Clyde in 1947, but his career was interrupted with recurring injuries. He had an excellent scoring record whilst at Clyde, scoring 90 goals in 137 league games.
In May 1956 he signed for Celtic, the team his elder brother, John had previously captained. He made his debut in a 2–1 Scottish League Cup win against Aberdeen. Later that season, McPhail scored twice in the League Cup final, helping Celtic lift the trophy for the first time. The following year McPhail starred in the Celtic team that played fierce Old Firm rivals, Rangers in the final of the same competition. The match, referred to by Celtic fans in poem〔Hoops bid farewell to hat-trick legend Billy, ''News of the World'', 6 April 2003〕 and song〔 as "''Hampden in the sun''", resulted in a record 7–1 victory to Celtic, with McPhail scoring a hat-trick of goals.〔〔Rej, Arindam . (Veterans battle to prove brain damage link ), ''The Guardian'', 23 December 2004〕
A knee and ankle injury forced McPhail to retire the following year, after just two seasons with Celtic.〔 He played just 57 games in all competitions for Celtic, however he is widely described as a "hero" or "idol" for his three goals in the 1957 Cup final.〔〔〔(Headers harmed my brain, says footballer ), ''The Independent'', 16 April 1998〕 John McPhail also scored three goals against Rangers, in the 1950 Glasgow Merchants' Charity Cup. This is the only occasion in Old Firm history that brothers have achieved this feat.〔Tom Campbell, ''Glasgow Celtic 1945–1970'', Civic Press, 1970〕
