Happy birthday Willie Henderson

Probably our greatest Scottish born winger since the war.
When Sir Stanley Matthews describes you as "unplayable", you must be doing something right.

Been fortunate enough to meet the wee man a couple of times and he's an absolute gentleman.

Happy Birthday Willie.

What an absolute character, met him on the subway once,, it was midweek so it was quiet. My wife was adamant that I should get my photo taken with him. Wee Willie got the coat off and everything, considering that he was the first picture that I had on my wall, meeting him in person over 60 years later was a moment for me. An absolute star
 
I had the pleasure of sitting beside him at a Rangers dinner and enjoyed it thoroughly.
It was a very entertaining evening as he told tales of many past glories.
A humble and humorous man who was an absolute gentleman.
Happy birthday wee Wullie!!
 
Happy Birthday Willie Henderson.

Still one of the best football stories I've heard was Willie running through Lisbon airport trying to catch his flight with his pal, Benfica and Portugal's superstar Eusebio, running behind him carrying the Wee Man's luggage watched by open mouthed locals.
