Thyne of 126 may be better recalled as Bob Thyne of Kilmarnock Football Club.
He is described thus by historians of the club...
"A classic stopper, big and strong, little got past him. Bob was cool and courageous under pressure and an inspiration to his team-mates. he played for Scotland while still suffering from wounds received in the D-Day landings. He was a Kilmarnock director and S.F.A. councillor and resigned from the board over the sorry saga of the Gordon Smith transfer.
