It is also worth mentioning that former Penicuik players Eddie Thompson and Malcolm Robertson played
for Hearts as well as Penicuik playing Hearts in the Scottish proper in 1939. Links between the two clubs
go back even further to Penicuik’s first season in 1888 when we met Hearts reserves in the reserve team
competition and, following the sudden death of one of Penicuik’s players in 1896, Hearts provided a team
to raise funds for the widow and children.
Penicuik will be managed by former Penicuik player and Manager Willie Hume who
played for and managed Penicuik including captaining them at Hampden in the
Scottish Junior Cup Final as well as guiding them to success along with Rab
Buchan, winning two league titles. He will be assisted by another former Penicuik
player and manager Willie McGinley who oversaw Penicuik’s promotion through
the leagues following their return to junior football in 2002.
