Career

Little was born in Blantyre and educated at Rutherglen Academy. It was while playing for the school team that he was scouted by then Rangers manager Bill Struth and the next day signed for the club aged 17. Struth decided to loan Little out to play for Blantyre Victoria to get much needed experience.

He returned to Rangers and played six first-team games after the Second World War. The war had interrupted his footballing career. Little served as a Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Upon returning to Rangers he made six top team appearances before moving to Greenock with Morton for a spell then retiring from professional football.

Little also guested for Arsenal during the war.

gollark: I would then use this to subtly influence future (past) events I don't like, such as "brexit".
gollark: I could just attain money via ??? child things, spend it on some bitcoins (or even *mine* it, since it took a while for people to catch onto GPUs then ASICs) and then have 19024719827490 capital.
gollark: I have vague knowledge of deep learning things which are really recent and would probably substantially accelerate progress if brought to the past somehow. More importantly, though, I would simply buy bitcoin.
gollark: Anyway, if *I* were magically sent back in time I could do better.
