Willie was a superb centre-half who came to the club in August 1916. Known as "The Holy Ghost" because of his uncanny knack of seeming to appear from nowhere to coolly clear danger, even in the most hectic of situations.

I think it's most likely to be the Benefit Tournament or the Wilson Cup - both of which were won by Hibs against Hearts. There might be info in Lugton 3, the making of Hibernian I'll have a look.
