    Allan McGraw. Ex Morton player and Manager.
    I remember reading that McGraw was almost crippled and needed two walking sticks by the time he was in his late 30s, caused by repeated steroid injections in his knees during his career in the 1960s, before the risks of doing this to players became known.
