We are delighted to announce today that the fourth Thistle Pin is the McQuade Pin! The Mad Monk Denis McQuade, known as the Mad Monk (because he briefly contemplated entering the priesthood) spent 8 years as a player at Thistle. Denis played for the Jags more than 300 times, scoring 76 goals in competitive games….
This evening we are proud to announce that the third Thistle Pin depicts none other than Jackie Husband! Jackie had an association with our football club that is simply without parallel. Player, captain, coach, physio and kit-man. With the exception of a short spell as Queen of the South manager, Jackie Husband spent his entire…
We were absolutely blown away by the take-up for the Doolan Pin this morning. All of the 121 original Pins were reserved within the space of about 20 or so minutes after launch. We will be sending an email this evening to all those who have already reserved theirs, so that they can then complete…
We are delighted to announce that the first Thistle Pin available for purchase (£10 including P&P), exclusively by our members, is… the Doolan Pin! This one really is a cracker.

Each pin will be available exclusively to Foundation members and will cost £10. All profits from the sale of Thistle Pins go to the Foundation. Most…
