Kilmarnock Legends Old and New
Davie Sneddon
Davie first signed for Kilmarnock in November 1961 having transferred from Preston North End for a fee of £17,000. He will best be remembered for scoring Killie's first goal in the dramatic League decider against Hearts at Tynecastle on 24th April 1965. Kilmarnock won the match 2-0 and brought the title back to Rugby Park.

Davie's last game for Killie was against St Johnstone on 25th March 1967 when he left to join Raith Rovers for a fee of £3,000. He later returned to Rugby Park as a coach in 1972 and was manager when the club won promotion back to the top flight in 1979.
Paul Wright
Paul joined Kilmarnock from St Johnstone in 1995 for a club record fee of £300,000. He scored many important goals for Killie during his time at Rugby Park but none more so than the winning goal against Falkirk in the 1997 Scottish Cup Final.

Between 1995 and 2001 Paul scored 70 goals for Kilmarnock of which 58 were scored in the League. His other clubs include Aberdeen, Queen's Park Rangers, Hibs, Falkirk and Morton.
