Have you contacted the club? I would be surprised if there wasn't someone associated with the club who would have information about your uncle's playing career.

There are books on the history of the club. It would also be worthwhile looking at the newspapers. The Aberdeen Journal/Press and Journal and the Aberdeen Evening Express would both have accounts of matches etc. There would perhaps be an account of his career when he died.

i am sorry i have upset you with my post on the 17th i honoured that by replying and apologizing to the other person who gave me a hard time. i was ill over weekend and didn't realise as i was unsure about birth place so didnt see it as a problem but it must have been so i asked for ayrshire one to be removed  but thank you for your observations just a pity you didn't say ii had asked for duplicate to be removed,
