Biographical Text

Clydebank-born Patrick McDade played twice for Exeter City in 1928. He signed from Liverpool and left to join Morton.

Liverpool spotted him playing for Scottish juniors, Yoker Athletic, and duly signed him in 1925. He was an inside-forward at the time but in his two seasons assisting Liverpool’s reserve team he was used as a half-back.

He signed for Exeter City in the summer of 1927 without having made a league appearance for Liverpool. His Grecians debut didn’t come until the 2-1 win at Southend United in February 1928 and, although he retained his place in the side for the following game, he didn’t feature again for the first-team. 

After leaving Exeter he returned to Scotland and signed for Morton before moving on to Yeovil & Petters United and Clapton Orient. Having rarely featured in the first-team at any of his clubs he subsequently became chief scout for Notts County.

Patrick McDade died in 1974.
